The team working on the Linux-based operating system, Canonical, despite short funding, is eager on continuing to push the limits of mobile technology, especially their ambitious concept of convergence that would have provided Ubuntu Edge users the power to exchange among Android OS and a desktop-enabled Linux one.

Canonical CEO Jane Silber, created strategies for the company to release an Ubuntu phone in the market in the first quarter of 2014. But while the device has been made, each and every Indiegogo supporters will be getting full refunds.

Jane Silber told CNET that the full Ubuntu convergence thing will not be included in the first release of Ubuntu phone. The first Ubuntu phones that will be released will be “just phones” and fully converged phones will come next and it may have many looks.

Weeks ago, many had predicted that Ubuntu Edge wasn’t going to meet its target, so the failure didn’t come as a shock. Nevertheless, Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Canonical and Jane Silber are still positive because their partner manufacturers, in closed-doors meetings, were becoming more engrossed in making the idea come to life.

Their partner manufacturers’ support is what drives Canonical to continue the Edge markdown over the period of the campaign. A massive mark down on prices in hopes to encourage increase in pledges was their last option, but it wasn’t successful.

But it didn’t put Canonical’s hopes down. Silber claimed in an interview with CNET that the Ubuntu smartphone move is still on the go. Thanks to Indiegogo, the Ubuntu Edge earned up to 11,000 supporters. It was an outstanding display of demand for a mysterious device.

In the eyes of Shuttleworth and Canonical, smartphone companies such as Apple and Samsung don’t have the ability to have a revolutionary innovation because of the risks that come along with trying to scale such improvements to a lot of devices.
