Actually, Motorola has found out that pretty much no one even likes it. I kid you not, many, many months after first saying that it's going to basically phase out the name Motoblur, while keeping most of its actual features intact, Motorola has decided to basically phase out the name Motoblur, while keeping most of its actual features intact. And if that seemed copied and pasted to you, Motorola's words seem copied and pasted to me. Over the months.
Ten months ago, Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha said that they had “decided that we will focus on the value proposition of products and not MOTOBLUR as a brand name in its own right”.
Fast forward to today, while not forgetting that in these ten months there have been many Moto device launches where Motoblur was touted as one of the features. A Motorola spokesperson confirmed to Engadget that the company is moving away from the name Motoblur, in a decision which was partly influenced by public feedback.
In other words, Moto is saying okay, okay, we know you hate Motoblur. So there, we're not going to be calling it that anymore. Happy now?!
I don't know about you, but I really don't think that those who complained to Moto about Motoblur were complaining about the brand itself (although, in fairness, it is a dumb brand). So I really don't get why Moto thinks it can get away with simply phasing out the brand, and not what it stands for.
So here's what will basically happen. Motorola will continue to add software bits and pieces to its Android devices, bits and pieces that it will no longer call “Motoblur” as a whole. Those bits and pieces will probably turn out to be just as useful, reliable, and bug-free as Motoblur has always been. And they will also help you get faster Android OS updates exactly as much as Motoblur did.
