\"\"<\/a>It looks like Google isn’t the only one looking to address Android fragmentation. Word on the street is that Motorola has scrapped future MOTOBLUR plans in favor of (wait for it) HTC’s Sense UI. Now we understand why there’s been a rather long delay in getting handsets like the T-Mobile Cliq updated to Android 2.1.\u00a0 According to sources familiar with the matter, the handset maker had been mulling this over right around the time the Espresso screens leaked.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

They (Motorola) realized it would be in their best interest to adopt their (HTC) build rather than compete head to head.\u00a0 As part of the deal, HTC has agreed to integrate some of the MOTOBLUR widgets into Sense UI with added customization.\u00a0 Further, the remote wipe and backup features will be included in future builds of Sense.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Looking back, we can’t say we’re surprised. Remember seeing Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha at the release of the Nexus One?\u00a0 Apparently that’s when official talks started between the two.<\/p>\n

\n

It started out as a light joke right before Chou took the stage.\u00a0 Afterward, the two shared a few drinks and got the ball rolling.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Thanks for the heads up ArlosPiflo!<\/em><\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/strong>: Androinica is reporting<\/a> that AT&T will continue use of MOTOBLUR in a limited-license deal.

You tell us!<\/h3>\n

Is this a good move or a bad one?\u00a0 Does a Devour or Backflip sound any better to you if it had Sense on it?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Might We Suggest…<\/h3>\n
