UbuntuEdge drops price to $695

What a mess! The sad thing is that this to me makes them come across as a bit clueless or a bit like they're in headless-chicken mode, in a panic about not meeting the target.

Would I want to invest in someone that I'm seeing panic to not meeting their goal with a constantly shifting expectation?

Their shambolic handling of this campaign does not instill confidence in their ability to manage a $32m investment.

I mean if you're a pre-paying buyer for this thing at $695, you'd probably be just as easily in at $795.

If they had the hardware available right now, for that price, in my country so I don't have to pay import taxes and 25% VAT on top of it, yeah I'd buy one.

What happened to good old pre-orders as crowdfunding?

They aren't going to make it. $24 million left with 2 weeks, no way will it reach $32 million.
