Gadgets: Dell Streak-The versatile 5-inch Android tablet

August 15th, 2010 by ytechcity

Dell is now selling their 5? screen havin’ tablet/phone, Streak, in their online shop for $299 subsidized by AT&T on contract and for $549 free and clear. Well, perhaps “free” isn’t the appropriate term, as an outright purchase will get you a carrier locked Streak with no frequency band support for T-Mobile 3G. Nevertheless, this gadget is garnering a great deal of buzz, if only for its screen size and Dell branding.

Streak ships with Android 1.6, but will be bumped up officially, to 2.1 before too long. Android hackers are paying particularly close to the Streak’s capabilities, and will be happy to know that some 2.1 firmware has been leaked over at MoDaCo forums, where users are reporting solid performance. This may not be the final version of the update that Dell will eventually release.
