Default Dell Streak User Interface Caught on Video

http://www.notebooks.com/2010/07/28...eak-demo-video/

This is a nice video demonstrating some of the customizations Dell has done to optimize the Streak to make better use of Android on a larger screen.  For the most part it looks pretty good.  From the video, they imply that the Streak is landscape-only, which is not something I'd heard before, but maybe I'm just inferring too much from what he said.  If true, I think this is a bit limiting, as I'd want to use a lot of apps, like an ebook reader, in portrait mode.

yup, predominantly landscape, although I did read that there are some screens that can be tweaked into portrait mode ... still looks pretty good for a version 1 product ... but that Android 1.6 thing is puzzling.
