Word on the street is that Google just busted out a live demo of the oft-rumored HTC Dream doing its Android-flavored thing at the company's I/O conference in San Francisco. Reports tell us that the device is a roughly 3-inch by 5-inch touchscreen phone with a slider keyboard. Not a lot is known right now, though apparently the device packs an accelerometer which allows you to tilt the unit to scroll across Google Maps or Street View. A video is on the way, so stay tuned for more information (and images) as we get them.

Update: Video after the break!

The UI doesn't look slick IMO, the black border around 3G, the signal strength, reminds me of my thrown out of the window in working condition, motorola. The icons too are very cartoony.

Well, its not confirmed its a HTC. Its rumoured to be a HTC, thats all, as if google would really display the brand name that would be blatant favouritism, and unfavourable to other brands But still, looks really sweet, wonder if Sony can get this android thingy too...

Check out the Android emulator bundled with the SDK. The final product should be more or less similar.
