If there's a subset of the world for whom an iPhone or a high end Android smartphone is just a pipe dream, then the pipe-dream devices won't be much of a distraction.

One of the great things about Android is that you don't have to be running it on a "high end" phone. Why bother with another new OS for your low-end handset when Android runs pretty well on low-end devices and you still get most of the benefit of Android (Google Apps like Nav, etc, don't require much processor power, they run great even on sub-$100 (off-contact price) phones).
