    According to word on Rumor Street, Dell’s building a fairly deep HTC Sense-esque UI overhaul called “Stage” for some of their upcoming Android handsets.

    For their Android-powered Streak tablet, however, it looks like they’re keeping things a bit.. simpler. The gal who runs Streak Smart got her mits on an early, slightly-hacked build of Froyo for the Streak, complete with the Stage additions. They’re, uh, interesting, to say the least.

    The bad news? “Stage” on the Streak is less “overhaul”, more “wonky, sort-of-hacky widget system”. Video sometimes makes things seem less useful than they are, so I’ll keep my judgement light for now… but would you use something like this? Let us know down in the comments
