Google To Spend $500 Million To Market Moto X Phone

Don't really see the point in getting another Motorola phone. I paid a premium for my Photon, and it really annoys me every single day with how long it takes to wake up and actually do something, and how often it crashes. That might be due to the fact that I have no choice but to still run Gingerbread, because Motorola decided to lock the Photon to that version.

&lt;rumor&gt; I have a guess about the motoX phone: It will have a modular hardware component. Probably something similar to the jolla phone , which is build from two different parts stuck togheter by magnets. One part if your phone , and the other one is a replaceable hardware card.<p>This also fits the motoX ad saying &quot;design your own phone&quot;.<p>The replaceable part could be designed by anyone, and it opens a lot of places for innovation: think of a microscope, or a fingerprint scanner, or nose on a chip, or high quality audio interfaces ,or unique sensors or any number of niche hardware.<p>Anyway , i really hope that&#x27;s the case. If will be really fun to play and design with such phones.<p>&lt;&#x2F;rumor&gt;

I look forward to being annoyed with a Moto X ad every time I use a Google service.

or maybe they&#x27;re realizing that samsung Is starting to compete with google on the OS so they need to compete with samsung on the hardware. This ways samsung will never be in a position to impose its new OS.

From what I&#x27;ve read, the main feature is a low power, always on, sensor array. My guess is that this phone will break new ground with comprehensive and novel Google Now integration, and push further towards the goal of a device that actively assists its user. Think of it as a robotic system that is integrated into the growing AI&#x2F;expert system service that is Google.

Slowly, Google is transforming into Apple faster than Apple can transform into Google.

Sponsored by the NSA? Some of the weird tech acquisitions start making sense when the NSA is factored in; Motorola, Skype, anything else? It&#x27;s completely possible in this time and age to have back-doored hardware in Motorola phones, so I think everyone should advice against buying those.

This should&#x27;ve been called the Google X Phone not the Moto X Phone.

This could be a good win for Google if they do it properly.

I hope they compete on price. $600 phones are ridiculous.

U think they will be able to position themselves on a satisfied market like this? I don&#x27;t think they will make it!
