Canonical has kicked off a crowdfunding campaign to raise $32 million (http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/383179/canonical-seeks-32m-to-make-ubuntu-edge-smartphone) in 30 days to make its own smartphone, called Ubuntu Edge, that can also hook up to a monitor and be used as a PC. If it meets its funding target on Indiegogo, the Ubuntu Edge is scheduled to arrive in May 2014. To get one, backers must contribute $600 (£394) on the first day or $810 (£532) thereafter. Canonical will only make 40,000 of the devices.
