So far, all my Androids have been factory unlocked GSM models. Apart from the initial load which may or may not be required, I don't really see any reason why you won't be able to use it as a wifi-only device. I reckon the Moto G should work quite nicely as an Android equivalent to the iPod Touch. I do think this would be a nice upgrade over the Galaxy Nexus and low-end/mid-range Xperias I have right now.
Unfortunately, 5GB is not enough storage for me; and this sale is only for the 8GB model. Getting the next bump up (16GB) would double the price. Not worth it. 8GB would be doable IF it had a mSD card slot; but it doesn't.
