    Did you have a particular version in mind? Specifically do you mean to include or exclude the current version of Motorola's Android UI, which is no longer called Motoblur? – Matthew Read Sep 17 '11 at 23:44
  • I would like to know about the latest released version – Eduardo Sep 18 '11 at 15:10

Motoblur has a bunch of widget-based applications which bring your social networks and/or emails together for ease of viewing, as well as weather, rss feeds and other simple UI elements/widgets that can come in handy. However, Motoblur keeps a process running in the background for each service (type of widget) and thus many people (myself included) forego it and install a non-Motoblur ROM to conserve RAM, CPU and battery. But if you are an avid user of social networking sites then it is a good choice and worth the battery drain.

  • OK, I see that while Motoblur just adds some widgets, Samsung TouchWiz adds real features: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/13582/what-are-the-features-that-touchwiz-has-that-stock-android-does-not-have – Eduardo Sep 25 '11 at 18:23
