Motorola has scrapped future MOTOBLUR plans in favor of (wait for it) HTC’s Sense UI. The delay in update to android 2.1 has been caused due to this. Since the HTC sense user interface is preferred over the android interface, the mobile phone makers are confused. According to sources familiar with the matter, the handset maker had been mulling this over right around the time the Espresso screens leaked.
They (Motorola) realized it would be in their best interest to adopt their (HTC) build rather than compete head to head. As part of the deal, HTC has agreed to integrate some of the MOTOBLUR widgets into Sense UI with added customization. Further, the remote wipe and backup features will be included in future builds of Sense.
