The Ubuntu Edge project aims to create a high-technology mobile phone that can accelerate the adoption of new technologies, similar to how Formula 1 tests technologies for cars. The Ubuntu Edge phone would have the full Ubuntu desktop operating system and allow transitioning seamlessly between mobile and desktop experiences. It seeks to be a "pioneering project" and "catalyst" that drives future innovations in personal computing.

2. In the car industry, Formula 1 provides a commercial testbed for
cutting-edge technologies. The Ubuntu Edge project aims to do
the same for the mobile phone industry -- to provide a low-
volume, high-technology platform, crowdfunded by enthusiasts
and mobile computing professionals. A pioneering project that
accelerates the adoption of new technologies and drives them
down into the mainstream. The Ubuntu Edge is our very own
superphone, a catalyst to drive the next generation of personal
computing.

6. “From mobile... to
desktop. Yes, it’s the
full Ubuntu desktop
OS used by millions”

7. Favourite apps
A short swipe from the left edge of the screen is
all it takes to reveal your favourite apps. There’s
room for everything you use daily, available
instantly from the welcome screen or any
application. Ubuntu lets you switch faster
between running and favourite apps than any
other phone.

8. A whole world of apps
Web applications sit alongside native apps on
Ubuntu.
They get their own icons and the same access
to system notifications. So apps like
Facebook, Twitter, Google Maps, Gmail and
Spotify are all available – and thanks to
Ubuntu’s web app APIs, it’s easy for web
developers to install their
sites as full applications.

9. Cleverer conversations
Ubuntu reinvents the inbox, giving you
quicker access to all your emails, texts, calls
and social media posts. See every message as
it comes in and reply in an instant; just swipe
down from the top when a new one arrives
and respond directly to
Facebook, Twitter, email, SMS
