I have successfully removed everything that At&t added to the phone including At&t Barcode Scanner, NFS Shift demo and Blockbuster, Etc. No root was needed for this. 
Hope this makes everyone happy.

Nice find... some things are still part of the ROM, like DLNA - but everything ATT is removable.
I think Moto and AT&T are starting to realize it is easier to not package this stuff as part of the ROM.

DLNA could only be a bonus.. glad to hear that the bloatware is removable.
the HDMI out would stop functioning if the DLNA wasn't there wouldn't it?
nah..
DLNA = digital living network alliance.
It is a technology that allows streaming media to supported devices over a network. e.g. with the right application, you could send a video from your phone to your ps3 or another DLNA receiver.
It's pretty cool.
Sweet! Thanks for passing this on, Fixter.I have successfully removed everything that At&t added to the phone including At&t Barcode Scanner, NFS Shift demo and Blockbuster, Etc. No root was needed for this.
How are you liking the screen? So many words on it, so little cogent information.
I actually took a couple of seconds to look at it just now just to compare it to the iPhone 4 and the Epic 4G and to all honesty I love this one better. It actually looks very nice and crystal clear. Very crisp image.
This is what I like to hear. First I read that root was possible and now this; good things keep coming; faster now as the phone is almost here.
I just found out that I will have a little over 150 by next week; hopefully.... ill be spending that at radioshack.

care to give us details on what needs to be done for this?I have successfully removed everything that At&t added to the phone including At&t Barcode Scanner, NFS Shift demo and Blockbuster, Etc. No root was needed for this.
They can be removed by the Manage Applications settings. Very simple indeed.
Can you verify if we can remove those applications that used to drive the laptop dock like firefox and the like????
I'm not seeing any of those in the Manage Apps. I do see a LOT of applications on Titanium Backup. And I mean a LOT.
There should be a lot of software to power that laptop accessories as expected. Motorola is simply misstepping. Good hardware can't go anywhere without good software. And here is what motorola did:
1. Bad upgrading track record
2. Bloatware.
3. No choice to remove the crapware (depend on if you need the laptop docks or not) to power the docks.
4. A signed (possibly not unlockable) bootloader.
Congrat Moto, you gain momentum from the Droid and you slept on it. Hahahaha.
Actually they are never running. They are just there. And actually don't take a lot if any of the phones memory. (The "bloatware" that is)
Same. If I'm not mistaken is 7Kb and I've never seen it running.
That's a good news. May I know how many program storage left when removing all the bloatware?
At&t apps actually are not that heavy. So I would say not that much if any. I think a game might take more memory.
