[kwlug-disc] Psst... Want to buy a phone (from Ubuntu)?

[Darcy Casselman]

Well, I backed it.  'Cuz why not?  I'm pretty skeptical they'll make the
$32M, but I think I'll be happy if they do, and if they do, I'll have a new
toy to play with.

Plus, I really, really want the whole dock-the-phone-to-become-a-desktop
thing.
