It's not bad. No HDMI out as far as I can tell, but otherwise pretty good.
Seems to be pitched mid market, so the price may be interesting. At least
as good as Nokia's Lumia 920 recently announced.

2Ghz processor, 2000maH Battery, but no 4G
To be sold as a mid range (I expect around 150-200 mark)

Sounds like battery life could well be the concern with the processor,
the fact they've had to bundle a power-tweaking app does nothing to
dispel that.

Indeed (or possibly one of the related versions - Xolo etc).

The SD looks like a nice phone, but the trouble is it's bootloader locked.
Intel wants to create a developer community around Android x86 - but if
developers can't change anything in the OS then that's really not going to
encourage enthusiasm. That's why it still runs Android 2.3 - ICS is
promised 'soon', but remains to be seen when and if 'soon' appears. I
wonder if the Moto will be similarly crippled.

Also most Android apps are device independent (compiled to run on
Dalvik) but some apps are compiled to native code (Firefox for one,
presumably some games too) are those developers going to bother with x86
versions as well as ARM?

Obviously it should ship with qemu - it's an x86 after all, so should have
the horsepower to do it.

But in all seriousness, it seems like the Wintel monopoly is merely being
supplemented by an ARMdroid one. It would be nice if people thought about
portability. Or perhaps Google could mandate fat binaries or something.
