Question by Dhiren: Does the motorola droid X contain “motoblur” ?
…and will it be able to support the new android “gingerbread” OS when it launches out later this year?

Thanks

Answer by Angel
“”Another interesting takeway from Droid X launch, was the total absence of Motorola Blur custom user interface from the event. When asked about it, Sanjay Jha, Motorola CEO, confirmed that MotoBlur is running on Droid X, but it has been hidden from the user.”"

see http://www.unwiredview.com/2010/06/25/droid-x-launch-bits-pt2-motoblur-as-we-knew-it-is-dead-beginning-of-the-for-custom-uis/ for more details… It looks like Andriod is evolving to a point were Motoblue and Ninjablur and other UIs will not be needed… Anyways, Andriod is still a “baby” when it comes to mobile OS… so, in the future, UIs for Andriod OS may become obsolete.. cause the driod will be 1 massive UI… hmmmmmmmmmmm…. very interesting
