     Unusual for Shuttleworth to favour the community over his personal ambitions. The phone thing was expected since that there were already rumors that UbuntuTouch was going to be dropped.
     
     It sounds like Canonical are trying to become RedHat, and mainly focus on enterprise cloud stuff.
