OK. I thought I recalled a seperate Canonical booth a couple of years ago.
All of the people there from Canonical or Ubuntu that I knew were Canonical
employees. Well, aside from local members of AZLoCo.

I understand not wanting to flash phones on your own.

Yeah, my main thought was for a press release since SCaLE would start the
very next day and because UbuCon is also the very next day... :)

If the Nexus line had external storage ( like it should!!! ), then I would
consider it, but, yeah, not putting an initial developers release on my
phone :).
