The Dell Streak should be a device many heard about before, though the price tag it features on the company's website unlocked is not something known to all. It seems that Dell aims at shipping as many Android-based tablets as possible, and that the Dell Streak can be purchase unlocked from its website for only £449.

The device comes to the market with a 5 inches (12.7 cm) screen, and with support for a wide range of applications and services courtesy of Google's Android operating system. Among these apps and services, we can count Internet browsing, portable navigation and social networking access. Moreover, Dell states that its 5-inch Android tablet can offer a much better user experience than rival devices.

Some of the main features of Dell Streak include: - Vibrant and spacious 5" (12.7 cm) WVGA (800 x 400) display supporting capacitive Multi-Touch and featuring toughened, scratch resistant glass - Latest ARM based 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor - Google’s Android OS with a unique Dell designed user interface - 5MP autofocus digital camera with dual LED flash and Webcam - Accessible MicroSD memory card for future storage expansion

The specifications list of the tablet also includes UMTS 2100 / 900 MHz, GSM / EDGE 1900 / 1800 / 900 / 850 MHz and HSDPA 7.2 Mbps / HSUPA 5.76 Mbps connectivity, along with 512 MB of ROM, 512 MB of RAM and 2 GB non-user accessible MicroSD (a microSD memory card slot with support for additional storage space and a 16GB pre-installed card is also included in the equation), as well as WLAN 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, and USB 2.0 capabilities.

Measuring 152.9 x 79.1 x 9.98 mm and weighing in at 220g, the new Android-based Dell Streak is powered by a 1530 mAh battery. The device comes with SMS, MMS, Email, and IM functionalities, and with media player with support for MP3, WMA, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, AMR, Midi, WAV, H.263 / H.264, .3GP, MPEG4 and WMV file types.
