Those of you that follow Paul O’Brien of MoDaCo on Twitter know that he recently got his hands on a Dell Streak and that he tweeted his hacking progress over the weekend. Aside from uncovering hidden menus and such, the dude worked out an incredibly simple root process that requires almost no interaction from the user.
