For everyone worried that Motorola’s fabulous XOOM tablet would be marred by a rumored update that would bring the MotoBLUR UI â€" You can be at ease. It isn’t happening. Motorola confirmed the information with IntoMobile, stating that the Moto XOOM tablet was a Google Experience device and that it would showcase Android 3.0′s (Honeycomb) best traits and features.
To clarify, Motorola XOOM is a Google Experience Device and the first tablet to incorporate Android 3.0 Honeycomb. As such, Motorola Mobility has worked closely with Google to develop and optimize the Honeycomb OS on XOOM, and has no plans to customize the software with MotoBlur.
To those wondering why a “pure†Android experience is so strongly lusted after â€" stock Android devices receive updates faster, are rooted sooner, and generally fair better to new features. While rooting is more of a niche desire, getting the latest and greatest updates is certainly not. And with an untouched Android experience, we can be sure that the Moto XOOM will be one of the staple Android tablets through 2011.
