Will Rachael ring in a Happy New Year?

As my source article emphatically states; take this tease with a grain of salt. But mobile Crunch has it “on good word” that the XPERIA X3 will be dropping (alongside the WinMo X2) this coming January.

Despite my having zero in-person experience with Cliq or Pulse, I’ve kind of placed the custom UIs of those two phones – MotoBlur and Canvas, respectively – in the same boat. I’m thinking Sense and Rachael will be on the same field, and possibly, worthy rivals. So I’m very excited to see the XPERIA X3; if not in person, then in a video at PhoneDog. Check out an early vid of Rachael in action here.

You need to get educated badly, MotoBlur is not even a UI !!! MotoBlur is mostly a backend service on servers where who create an Account that automatically sifts through your social communications and emails and pushes only new feeds directly to the phone. The Motorola CLIQ has the MotoBlur service installed and therefore has four active widgets (Android Applications that you can move around or even remove them if you want) that show the feeds. Also in some other areas of Android, Motorola has added features to use this data, like when you receive a phone call you can see the status of the person and their most recent picture for example from Facebook. In another great move, the contacts list is automatically compiled from all your email and social media accounts.

I know that MotoBlur is more than a UI. What is a short term I could use in place of "UI" in this context? Isn't the UI part of it? So beyond that, would you place MotoBlur and Sense on the same playing field? And... do you work for Motorola?
