Is Moto-G now good enough to replace an iPod touch? for a no-contract 'smartphone' that doesn't need to be up on 4g all of the time (say w/good wi-fi acesss)? Because it sure seems like a better deal in terms of functionality. The main limitation/constraint IMHO is the memory [8 or 16 GB NAND flash], which seems arbitrarily low. (ie, >5 years out of date).
- blinkingled 13y agoYeah barring the storage part - it is definitely a great iPod Touch replacement. You might be able to live with the 16GB if you stream stuff instead of playing it locally. There are many media player apps (Archos one that I use is great - even the free version) that can play videos from SMB shares etc.

- blinkingled 13y agoAny 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!
- av500 13y agoLooking into it. I understand there might be legal issues around Airplay and that Google did something to Chromecast to disallow "unofficial" use cases :(
- vidarh 13y agoIf you just want a media player, pick up almost any current generation chinese Android phones from Alibaba/Aliexpress. Many will be as cheap or cheaper, with plenty of them offering 1920x1080, and pretty much all of them supports 32GB or 64GB SD cards.
