I would say the price differential between this and good android phones
The Galaxy S5 is a $600 device. The HTC One is a $600 device. The LG G3 is a $600 device. The iPhone is a $600 device.
I'm not seeing the price differential.
However, the notion that this competes with either Android or the iPhone is utter nonsense, and we saw exactly the same noise with the Kindle Fire. People seem to have some need to try to assuage their corporate leanings that it's "someone else's problem".
Only it's a smartphone. People buy smartphones, not brands, even if they have brand associations. This device, just like every device, is in the mix for people who are considering a smartphone and who don't attach their ego to a company.

- personZ 12y agoOther android phones: Moto phones are <= $300, Nexus 5 is at $350. You claimed that it was targeted at the iPhone based upon price, when many of the top selling Android devices are the same price as the iPhone. So you would say this competes with nothing though? I disagreed with any binary analysis of what it competes with. It doesn't compete with "either", it competes with both. People buy smartphones to provide information and value, and any possible smartphone is a potential candidate.
