Dell Streak

Dell today officially announced its Dell streak tablet.

“The Dell Streak hits the sweet spot between traditional smartphones and larger-screen tablets,” said Ron Garriques, president, Dell Communication Solutions Group. “Its unique size provides people new ways to enjoy, connect, and navigate their lives.”

Dell Streak specifications:

  • Processor: 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor
  • Operating system: Google Android 1.6 with Dell UI enhancements
  • Connectivity: GSM/GPRS/EDGE and UMTS/HSDPA
  • Other connectivity: GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
  • Display: 5-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen
  • Storage: 2GB internal storage, microSD (up to 32GB)
  • Camera: 5MP with auto-focus and dual-LED flash / VGA front-facing camera

Dell will offer OTA updates for the Streak, including not only platform upgrades but also Android 2.2 sometime later this year.

Unfortunately, North America will have to wait a bit longer to see it. Dell will first release it in the UK through O2. A US release is planned for “later this summer.” There are no details about a Canadian launch but presumably it would come at the same time or after the US launch.
