Sadly. this closed purchase option with no retail option in the future is more characteristic of Apple than Ubuntu's philosophy. The phone looks great, specs sound amazing.. This exclusivity deal is all about "snobby" tactics.
I am a game developer. I can't currently afford to put down money for this phone but i will be able to in a couple months. Without the app eco-system, this will be another failed phone project like WebOS and Meego

Yay for a FOSS company creating a closed phone
The difference between cable TV with ads and a game with ads is as follows:
CABLE TV
When you pay to get cable TV, you are paying for access. That money goes to your cable company to provide the service to you.
The TV stations that show the ads, have to PAY your cable company to have their shows broadcast to your TV.
Therefore, the channels advertize in order to raise funds for the broadcast rights and to pay for the licenses of the shows they pump into your head.
A GAME
You BUY the game to PLAY the game.
Unless this version of Battlefield is going to be free, they are being a greedy bunch of dumbasses.
Oh wait. Yes... it is gonna be free...
Well for most people anyways.
... I wonder how many minutes it will take before this "flaw" is patched.
No. It means that Kazaa has a list of IP addresses it can use for telemarketting purposes. When you hear your computer ringing, you'll know they have sold your IP to marketting firms. A good way to avoid this was to have clicked "I don't want to hear about new products" in your license agreement when you downloaded Kazaa

Same boneheads who came up with the idea of banning excerpts of news articles in search results...
I wonder if this will be on one of those "meet your food" shows
