The UI is really starting to mature. When we got our first look at Android, I was worried that it looked a little chintzy; which would have been especially worrisome since Android is going to be constantly compared to the iPhone OS. Now, I'd say the UI looks about as classy as what the iPhone offers. Also, the resolution of the text in the browser error screenshot really is outstandingly sharp. I think Google really got the message from Apple that when it comes to cellphones, "it's the interface, stupid!" Hopefully the rest of the industry follows suit behind these two leaders.
OK, seem that they've worked out the software UI somehow, with SDK iterations. But, doesn't people see that the hardware design of this HTC Dream is a PIECE OF CRAP? To me it looks very much like a small brick, I would say the HW design is somewhat from '80s. And this keyboard? Huh?
