Who will be buying these? Developers?

It's a Linux phone that runs Android apps, so they ostensibly don't have the problem of building the ecosystem.

Importantly though, it won't have Google Play and the increasingly mandatory GMS, so a lot of Android apps won't work properly.
Definitely cool though and worthy of some attention.
We do however ship with microG. I have heard of people using Uber, Spotify, Lyft, Signal, etc. So Android app support isn't that bad despite no GMS.
