I don't get it. If you're using a smart phone for all the things that smart phones do (audio, photo albums, video), 16GB just isn't enough. Even my 32GB iPhone requires active file management to avoid hitting the limit.

I have not had a phone with over 32GB for the past 2 years and yet I've never had to perform "active file management" or delete any media from my phone. I consume all my music through Grooveshark and Play Music and watch videos on Netflix or YouTube.

>That price point is now full of phones with 1920x1080 5" screens; 1280x720 is very much "last year". The camera specs are beaten roundly by my year old $200 phone. The physical design is almost identical to said year old phone (which is to say it looks pretty much like the Galaxy SIII). I think you missed the fact that that's the non-contract no subsidy price... Your $200 dollar phone was probably 500 or 600 off con…
You are jumping to (wrong) conclusions. My $200 phone was without contract. . Here's a few examples of current Chinese phones in the Moto G's price range or below: 2GB RAM, Quad Core MTK CPU, 5" screen, 12.8 megapixel camera down to $121: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Full-1-1-i9500-MTK6589-S4-Pho...

The irony of capitalism working better in China the the US is strong. What failed in the US? Under or over regulated? Or is it the lobbyists thing?
The market for phone voice service isn't exactly the entirety of each country. "What failed in the US", if we want to compare only the situation in the US with that in China, could easily be that people in the US have so much more money that phone service prices are nine times higher.

Archos developer here, glad that you like the app :)
Any plans for Chromecasting/AirPlay support? I know it's not that simple but would not mind paying $4.99 if the paid version supported it. Thanks!

Do you only use your phone at home or when you have Wi-Fi access? (Do you live in South Korea?) Most US cellular data plans don't allow very much streaming audio, let alone video, before you hit a cap. Certainly not a month's worth. Source: I've easily hit my cap when I mistakenly turned off Wi-Fi.

How so? The quick software updates is a selling point to devs but not so much to consumers. We aren't their target market. It seems like a good place to cut costs since you don't have the huge reaccuring engineering costs and there is much more freedom on part selection
Google is interested in building Android as a platform. Having 80% of your install base stuck 4 versions behind[1] is a crappy way of doing it. Even after they've moved more and more of the platform into the Play frameworks you're still leaving users without a bunch of improvements to the core platform, not to mention security fixes. iOS is miles ahead on this front exactly because it controls the hardware. That Goog…

Unlimited 2G data. LTE is limited to 5GB per month. I've hit their throttle before, and while it's nice that you don't go dark, it's not for normal use.
5Gb on a handset without tethering isn't "normal" use, even with LTE...

There's a middle ground here though. The iPhone 4 is legitimately pretty shitty on iOS7, but the 4S runs the newest OS just fine. I've tested some pretty demanding apps on 4S/iOS7 and the thing barely breaks a sweat. And that's a 2 year-old phone. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect at least one major update out of new hardware, even low-end.
That's fine. the 4s, the oldest model phone that actually continues to work with their software updates, came out 80% through 2011. That's a little different than saying apple still supports phones that came out in 2010.
A (barely more than) one-year-old NEXUS phone is obsolete......
