At launch, the Streak will be running Android 1.6 (Donut), but it will receive an upgrade to the new Flash-capable Android 2.2 (Froyo) later this year. Dell's tablet offers support for voice and video calls, boast integrated Google Maps with turn-by-turn navigation, and will come bundled with a number of social apps like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
Pricing remains a mystery for now. The company said the Dell Streak will go on sale in the U.K. early next month through O2, and in the U.S. later this summer -- no 3G service partner was mentioned for this side of the Atlantic.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
It looks and sounds great. It is already better than the iPad. Now, will the browser be the same as the on that's integrated with Android? I figured as much, but maybe they decided to implement a third-party one? Like Fennec or Opera? Regardless, I need to see the performance of Android 2.2 on this little guy.
If its less than 200, I'll buy it.

what the he said ^

From what I've read, the device may be $700+. The hardware is standard smartphone, and for some reference, the N900 comes with 32 GB storage stock and has a sliding keyboard. The Nokia X6 also has 32 gigs and I can get that for sub 300. I have no Idea what dell is aiming for with this device and it's pricing.

The device will not cost 700; that, I can assure you...

Interesting, though i think the idea of that new Dell smartphone appealed more to me. If its just a big phone then count me out of the whole tablet series.

It misses the point a bit doesn't it?
Too big to comfortably fit in a pocket, so not a smart phone replacement.
Too small to watch a video on.
I think they're going to have to up their game on this front.

Have to agree with Hamsteyr. Whats the point of it?
I'll stick wtih my HTC Touch HD when I don't have a laptop with me. Smaller screen but same functionality.

If you can assure so much how come you call name isn't posted? Are you part of Dell?

I have a big problem with it only being 5" if that is true I don't see myself getting it. As well having 2gb is kinda of sad but I don't think much more is required then that I just like knowing it has more. However if it's 7" and a good price I will definitely consider this over an iPad. I still wonder whats the difference between it and just a 3.5" android phone.

as the guy before me said, 5 inch is a big problem...its not going to fit in ur pocket and its not worth carrying around in ur hands....and the device does not have any identity, is it a phone, tablet... what is it?
