Canonical's Ubuntu Edge crowd-funding campaign in IndieGoGo now has less than two weeks to go and the company has just set a new price.

Ubuntu Edge had a powerful start and there has been a lot of interest for this project, especially from the Linux community. They've managed to raise almost a quarter of the money they actually need, which is the astronomical sum of $32 million (€24 million).

Whether they can do it is anyone's guess, but they've taken a few important steps towards it. The last announcement from Canonical set the price of the Ubuntu Edge to $695 (€520), which turns out to be a price that people would actually pay for such a device.

Ubuntu Edge is a phone developed by Canonical that features some interesting hardware specifications. More details about the price and the campaign can be found in our initial report.
