With Motorola’s much-anticipated Moto X phone finally
launched moments ago, here’s the key question: Will you want it instead of an
iPhone?
Maybe. How’s that for a firm answer? But the fact that it
appears attractive enough even to raise the question is significant. And if
Google GOOG +1.83% spends anywhere close to the $500 million it’s rumored to
have budgeted for marketing the flagship smartphone, you can be sure that
consumers ready for a new phone will be writing the Moto X into their
shortlist.
