Google's Moto G seems a lot more interesting now -- their marketing effort has been summarized as "getting the next 1 billion people online."

This alludes to anticipating urban migration and knowing 1) who moves where 2) when they move. This can be very interesting and (in most cases) frighteningly accurate advertisement information.

The Moto G is a great effort and I applaud them for it (and my Moto X is the best Android I've ever had), but the real next billion don't come from a phone that still costs $179 or so. It will come significantly cheaper smart or smart-enough-for-facebook devices. Think the even cheaper Chinese OEM Androids, think the Nokia Asha devices.
