Will Motorola Really Muck Up the Xoom Tablet with Motoblur? [Tablets]

Consistent with Motorola’s European head of Android product management, Motorola wants to place the Motoblur interface on their upcoming Xoom tablet , which could be sad for a countless amount of reasons. But there’s also something that doesn’t quite add up.

According to Crave, the Moto exec Jonathan Nattrass said that Motoblur can be available as an over the air update. Whoa, whoa, whoa…wait a second. Why would they start with stock Android 3.0 (Honeycomb), and then switch to a new UI after launch? And who knows if it’d be an optional or mandatory update for the Xoom, but either way it seems like a confusing mess. Besides, why would you need to crap everywhere in the labor that Matias Duarte, Android’s new UI guy, has been pouring into the OS? Hopefully it truly is just a miscommunication. [ Crave UK ]
