Motorola, “MOTOBLUR will not be our focus going forward” – Android and Me

Interesting... it's too bad that the purchased Dev. phone shows to be running 2.2 w/ Motoblur. Would have been nice if this meant 2.2 came as vanilla Android to the DX.

All of this fussing around with custom builds is pointless. Vanilla Android works damn well, and if manufacturers want to add their customizations, they should feel free to do so - as installed launchers or widgets or modifications, just like Launcher Pro or Widgetlocker or any of the million destkop widgets you can download. I don't understand why manufacturers don't see the value in that? It allows them to have their custom look and feel while still allowing the customizations to be removed. It would make their lives easier with updates, too, since the update to the fundamental firmware would be kept separate from updating the launcher/widgets to be compatible.

i agree with ya

I have the Cliq XT with MotoBlur and even I don't know what it really adds.

They should talk to HTC about using their sense UI lol j/k

They should outsource the UI design team to the Launcher Pro developer's basement for training.

I couldn't agree more. It's amazing that 1 guy did with LP what entire companies fail at doing. Creating a UI that is awesome and just WORKS!

Meh, some of us still prefer the motoblur to LP. Just saying...

I prefer Blur, and ADW Launcher to Launcher Pro. Don't like all those icons along the bottom. Plus I can resize all widgets with ADW.

You can resize widgets with Launcher Pro now.

Well the bottom is totally customizable and the last time I looked LPP now lets you dynamically resize all widgets by dragging the corners even moto blur widgets. He also has some very slick widgets now in the pro version.

Does ADW resize the same way now? I haven't used it lately although it was my favorite until LPP.
