Canonical has reached the half-way mark in their campaign to fund the Ubuntu Edge smartphone.
The company hoped to raise $32 million, far and away the most a crowdfunded campaign would have ever raised, and so far they have raised $8.5 million, breaking Indiegogo records.
That being said, there is no chance the company will reach their goal, an unfortunate situation as the phone certainly has potential.
Here is the full spec list:
Dual boot Ubuntu mobile OS and Android
Fully integrated Ubuntu desktop PC when docked
Fastest multi-core CPU, 4GB RAM, 128GB storage

GPS, accelerometer, gyro, proximity sensor, compass, barometer
Stereo speakers with HD audio, dual-mic recording, Active Noise Cancellation
