Actually you're not - Bert's post linked to some screenshots, the
second showing a weather applet from the widget channel. This stuff is
a joke - as usual another half-assed slapped together effort. Notice
on the weather app how most text is illegible. Testament to the fact
that the UIE designers made this on a PC and just deployed it straight
to the test platform.
