If you work for Motorola, cover your ears and say "Blur Blur Blur Blur" at the top of your lungs over and over again for the duration of this post, because what we're about to present is an unholy marriage the likes of which neither Sanjay Jha (http://www.engadget.com/tag/SanjayJha/) nor Peter Chou (http://www.engadget.com/tag/PeterChou/) ever intended. It's not the first time we've heard of a version of Sense finding its way (http://mobile.engadget.com/2010/01/09/htc-sense-ui-dragged-from-htc-espresso-and-dropped-on-motorola-d/) onto Motorola hardware, but developer "thegeektern" over on AllDroid has posted a bunch of video and stills claiming to have ported an HTC Desire's (http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/htc,desire) (née Bravo's) Sense (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Sense/)-enabled firmware to Moto's beast -- and what's more, he's got some footage of it running Flash. Bear in mind that the speed at which Flash is running here looks downright painful -- and we fully expect official Flash support on the Droid later this year anyhow -- but anyone conflicted between the Droid's muscular lines and HTC's lovely skin might want to keep an eye on this project. It's still very early in development, but the most important part of the port has already been finished: it shows the proper Droid logo on startup. Follow the break for video.
