Dell Streak Incoming no comments
A couple of months ago some leaked Dell flyers surfaced of what Dell is now calling the Streak. This is an Android-based tablet and one of the features listed on the flyers was a Kindle reading app. This was seen as predicting a Kindle for Android app, and indeed a few days ago Amazon announced that such an app is forthcoming.
Now Dell has announced that the 5-inch Streak tablet will debut in Britain in early June, 2010 and in the United States a month or two later. The Streak, which is also a cell phone, will be available through mobile carrier O2 and Carphone Warehouse in Britain. Dell’s UK website will also have the Streak later this month. So far there does not seem to be any pricing information.
Some of the features of the Dell Streak:
- Rear-facing 5 megapixel camera plus a second forward-facing camera for video conferencing
- MicroSD memory card slot (up to 32GB)
- 5-inch multitouch screen; 800 x 480 resolution
- Wi-Fi, 3G & Bluetooth
- GPS
- Multitasking
- 1 GB Snapdragon processor
- Update to Android 2.2 and Flash 10.1 later in the year
- User-replaceable battery
Engadget reports that initially the Streak will only be available in black, but more colors will be available later. Also see the Direct2Dell blog for more info. The Streak is the first of a series of tablet devices – Dell is working on larger format tablets as well.
