Clearly this is Canonical's first crowdfunding attempt and they lacked the experience. They already let the MORALE and interest died. 2 weeks left and is now slowed down so much that will only get 1 or 2 M per week. So we will only see 2 to 4M more (maybe even 5M if ). They didn't even follow

You're missing the point, Canonical expressed they are not planning to enter the hardware market. Planning a low end device to raise money for a high end device is exactly that. Offering the same device with a little less features or optimizations does't equal entering the hardware market.

Yes. Shuttleworth has even said that the entire purpose of this campaign is to judge if there's a market for super high end phones. Adding a mid range phone just to make this campaign succeed does not measure the market appeal of the superphones, and it doesn't make manufacturing those

On a large display, there is very rarely enough content to use the whole screen. If you're using a 20 tablet, it's not for pleasure. It needs to use multiple windows. This applies to the keyboard as well. The keyboard would be too large to type on if you just stretched it out to a 20 screen.
