What makes Android a great operating system is that you can customize it the way you like. If you have the stock Android UI, without any additions such as Motoblur, or Sense UI, you would be bored with the interface, and it won’t satisfy your customization needs.

Rejoice Zune HD users! Apps will be coming to the Tegra based powerful device. A video has been uploaded by a person trying out the Zune HD and finding out the Apps category in the Marketplace which is further confirmed by the other person demoing it. That person doesn’t reply when asked about an SDK though. Plus we have no idea on where they would be installed. My guess is an App link in the main menu when one is installed or after a software update because strangely, Microsoft is still not advertising Apps as a feature.
