It will make as much impact as Google's Nexus phones.
Interesting, widely talked about, loved by its owners, but ultimately not significant to the bottom line of Google or Motorola.

Could be.
They're obviously still having teething problems with the Nexus and with Moto. I assume they'll get their act together eventually[*]. Money can have a way of fixing things, given enough of it and people who can spend it reasonably well.
http://investor.goog...ncial/tables.html [*] Moto as a going concern depends on either stopping losing money or G continuing to cover their losses. If either doesn't happen, they're in trouble. They obviously can't continue as they've been indefinitely. Anything that puts pressure on the telecos and Apple to reduce prices is a good thing. We'll see. Cheers, Scott. |

Why single out Apple?
Sony, HTC and Samsung all have handsets at the same price point as the iPhone 5.
I further predict that the Moto X will have precisely zero effect on the ASP of the aforementioned manufacturers. |

Re: Why single out Apple?
Why not? The point here is avoiding a replay of the desktop monopoly in the nineties and the five fold increase in the OEM price of Windows that it brought on, not about whether or not AS singled out a particular manufacturer unfairly.
