I think Canonical was nuts when it set $32M as a goal.  Unless
Shuttleworth writes a check it doesn't look like it is going to happen.

I don't understand why they are being so ostentatious when they could
have had a record breaking success at half that amount.  Surely they
WANT to make a phone, if only as a reference design for others.

Slashdot had an interesting video today:

Canonical seems to be basing their prototyping on the Samsung Galaxy.
