Can't believe everyone is falling for this, it's almost like Dave999 has been put in charge of PR at Canonical and been given free rein to troll you all. Either that or Shuttleworth has lost it.

The only reason that Jolla and Sailfish was even possible was because they already had the vast majority of a mobile OS already built and that were able to absorb all the existing talent around the OS from Nokia. Canonical on the other hand lack the core OS and they lack people who are experienced in writing software and develop mobile devices. As for the hardware specs, they're completely laughable. Do they seriously think they will be able to approach Samsung and buy 4 gigs of RAM and tiny 128GB SSD's for anything less than a couple of hundred dollars each? Then there's the release date of May 2014. Canonical are bonkers if they think they can create a brand new mobile OS, make it dual boot with Android, have it running on sexy, cutting edge hardware in 10 month even assuming they raise the $30 million.

Do not put any money into this, you will be burned.
