Well, the deadline is up. The pledges rolled in and they got $12.8
million, which sounds amazing until you see that their goal was for
$32 million. I guess that means all that money is getting refunded and
there will be no Ubuntu Edge.

I wonder if OpenPhoenix has an opportunity now, with all those
frustrated would-be buyers out there.
