Google learned the downside of an international media blitz last week when gadget fans in Europe and Asia discovered that the much-hyped Moto X phone will only be available in America. Spokespeople for Google's Motorola Mobility in Europe and Asia said after the announcement that the company doesn't plan to release the Moto X in those regions.
"Moto X is just the first device in a new portfolio of products that show the best of Motorola as a Google company," Kevin Si, a Motorola spokesman in Asia, wrote in an e-mail. "We have exciting plans for all regions, although we can’t reveal specifics right now. This is just the start."
