Dear all, Many of us carry powerful and expensive smartphones with us. Sadly, despite some of those devices run a Linux kernel (Android), it is not possible to install arbitrary software without rooting the device. I personally believe that the artificial limitations that vendors impose on smartphones (which have little difference with PCs) are actually hindering our freedom, innovation, and research in programming languages. This is may be a great opportunity for everyone and a step in the right direction. For those of you interested in running open-source software and writting applications in programming languages other than Objective-C or Java, this may be the perfect hardware: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ubuntu-edge--39 Please, feel free to tell everyone who may be interested about this fundraising campaign. I have no affiliation at all with Ubuntu or that particular project. Best Regards, -- Jose
