Seems that both Motorola and Google have interest in seeing the Linux mobile footprint evolve. With a combined contribution of $20,000, they are focusing on major changes for GNOME 3. "It will be more than a tweak," Stormy Peters stated. "It will be the whole user experience, from the look and feel, to how files are managed to how it syncs with your mobile phone -- really the whole package. It will be very much a change for users and how they use their computers."

Really?

Given that neither Google nor Motorola are known for their stellar UX design, are they really the sort of people we want to see putting design effort into GNOME?

I beg to differ. The UI design of Google Chrome is so minimalistic but yet well thought-out that it fits right into GNOME's own design philosphy.
