Packing a dual-core application processor, the new device is one of the most appealing 7-inch tablet PCs brought to the market with Google's Android operating system on board.

Some of the main features of the new device would include:
- Android 2.2-based tablet with over-the-air upgrade capability for future OS releases - Vibrant 7" (17.78cm) multi-touch display with full Adobe Flash 10.1 - 1.3 MP front-facing camera for face-to-face chats on popular services such as Qik or Skype - 16GB of internal storage, plus Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and built-in GPS
Dell Streak 7 enables users easily take and share photos or videos with their friends over social network sites, as well as to enjoy a smooth web browsing experience while on the go.
“The Streak 7 is our 7-inch Android 2.2 tablet that’s built on the dual-core 1 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor so it can handle just about any multimedia task you put in front of it,” the company notes on its website.
