I wish that more phone companies would produce plain Google phones, and not feel the need to differentiate themselves from the rest of the market by plastering their own designs over the top. Heck, I'd settle for _one_ company doing that.



The CEO of Motorola recently suggested that phone companies pursue this strategy because of wireless phone carriers: http://www.theverge.com/2012/1/10/2697939/motorolas-sanjay-j...


Motorola?


I thought they had their own overlay. Have they switched to providing pure Android?


They had Motoblur on some devices, and they had "pure" Android on others.

Pure is scare-quoted because of course Motorola still had proprietary drivers and carriers who distributed Droids still added their bundled apps and disabled objectionable features such as wifi hotspot.


Hopefully getting purchased by Google will have that effect...
