They are a sw/services vendor, get that through your head...
Now that range of Ubuntu phones was/is to have similar "docking" abilities, but comparatively speaking they were to be far more hobbled for that purpose.
(and that's even putting aside some of the solid arguments out there that such convergence devices are simply "flavor of the mth", & little more than gimmicks LT)
Especially with the 1st version of Ubuntu Touch coming Q1, which will still be based strictly around X/Xmir.
Yes, it was a vision like lots of cool tech on Indiegogo and kickstarter. Still, if they got enough money they would have deliver a cool device. Sure, Ubuntu don't go down with this device, it was great PR. Still, the idea of a pocket able computer will come sooner or later, just not in the form of the Edge unfortunately.

So far you haven't said anything that I didn't know so still don't understand what you mean with clueless . feel free to explain. You should probably get down from you high horse and don't assume the you are the only one that knows what you are talking about it isn't pretty.
