Ubuntu’s Edge has just passed the crowd funding record of $10,266,845 previously set by the Pebble Smartwatch. The Ubuntu Edge has now raised $10,448,255 but that still leaves it a huge way behind its target of $32,000,000. With only six days left it seems likely the Ubuntu Edge will fall considerably short of its $32 million target, probably raising only $12 million.
