Motorola low-cost smartphone hits US early

Motorola's smartphone aimed at cost-conscious consumers hit the US market ahead of schedule on Tuesday, in time for the key holiday season. The Moto G was made available on Google-owned Motorola's website at an off-contract price starting at $179. "We're giving people plenty of mobile goodness to gobble up this holiday season," the company said on its blog as it started sales just ahead of the Thanksgiving Day holiday. The device is being sold at "one third of the price of current high-end phones, for a smartphone stuffed with plenty of great features," the blog posting said.
