Better late than never, the Dell Streak 7 fixes most of the problems found in its predecessor, at a much reduced price. With a quick CPU, plenty of storage and a near enough up-to-date version of Android, it makes for a convenient hand-held connected...

The Dell Streak 7 isn't a bad Android tablet, it's just not a great Android tablet. For those on a budget willing to make concessions, we definitely see a place for less than top drawer products, but saving only $50 over the life a a 2 year...

Make no mistake: Dell will not be sitting out the Tablet Wars the way it did during the Struggle Against Smartphones. No, Dell is fighting, and by that I mean it is intent on pouring money into what is obviously a hole of futility.Its latest volley in...
