Ubuntu Phone – The biggest crowd-funding project to date?

The Ubuntu Edge is promised to be the next step in phone/computer hybrids. The low-volume high-complexity approach is said to be similar to what F1 is for cars – an arena to try out new technology. The phone will be running both Android and Ubuntu as its OS, turning into an Ubuntu computer when hooked up to a screen. So what kind of hardware can be expected you may well ask?
