Guest vonalim Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'd like to see users of the Streak have the option of either stock Android as soon as updates are available (or as soon as is reasonably possible) or a delayed version of Android with all the Dell customizations rather than being forced to take the latter. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest maskaler Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Yes, prettified it too http://bit.ly/d8QaIJ Nice one for that Dunhamzzz, though he certainly seemed to skirt around some answers, especially the 2.2 question. I'll be interested to see what they have in store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mobiholic Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Nice one for that Dunhamzzz, though he certainly seemed to skirt around some answers, especially the 2.2 question. I'll be interested to see what they have in store. indeed, but all the same it is good to have the opportunity to speak to the Devs directly. Perhaps we as a community and Dell can take what we've learned from this chat and use it to improve the next one (crosses fingers). It also looked like he had a canned response for any questions on the UI and screen size: "D: <cz9qvh> Were there any challenges you didn't expect while designing an android UI for such a widescreen? N: When dealing with a device of this size, the real challenge was in the landscape view. Most phone UI2019s are optimized a portrait centric view, and when you have to reflow standard content controls, it can get a little awkward looking. A case example is in the music app. Most music apps deal with music as a standard list, list of songs, list of albums, etc. We had the opportunity to implement a grid in this case. N: This is only one example, but larger devices are challenging. N: And i expect this to continue as Android pushing into the tablet space. D: <aceofspade> how will the UI of the DellMini 7 and 10 differ from the 5? N: If we were developing such a product, I would say that there are similarities between small screens (3"-4") and medium screens (5"-7"). One of the primary differences is the screen density (resolution). If Streak were larger, I would imagine the UI would be very consistent. But this is merely speculative.

Excerpt of transcript from www.MyDellMini.com Unless this was an error added during editing or something, it seems like discussing increasing screen size was something Dell had anticipated and prepared a response for. Man in black suit holding a badge bearing the Dell logo says to Neil "if they ask about the screen size then use this response and nothing else... or we will erase you!" Then again I may be simply be looking for conspiracy where there is none :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
