Am very excited to confirm that Dell are shortly going to be unleashing their Dell Streak Tablet onto the UK Market on Friday this week( 4 June 2010). This represents the first major android tablet threat to go head to head with Apple’s iPad- and even though the sizes maybe different- the specs will no doubt impress.

Tablet+ Portability+Power

Weighing in at a massive 5inch screen the mini tablet maintains its portability whilst ensuring that there is enough screen size to do all the key tasks that you need out of it. Unlike the ipad, this is one handset that can be easily carried round and not consigned to the dedicated laptop/tablet bag.  Its also tough enough to stand being lugged about with its toughened “gorilla” glass that can take all sorts of abuse and keep going.

Sporting the current Android Power Engine that is the the 1Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon, it also has 2 cameras, one front facing VGA for video chat and one 5MP camera –dual LED flash enabled.

For those Music/ Video fans, the Dell Streak will also act as a media hub with optional 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB of upgradeable memory, means you will have a lot of space to fill up with your media files. 

Current reports from Carphone Warehouse, indicate that it will run with Android 1.6 out of the box, along with Dell’s Enhanced Muliti-touch User interface.  They have promised that this will be upgraded to Android 2.0 towards the the end of the year. ( Although I hope they do this a lot sooner)

Features confirmed include:

• Facebook integration and Flickr uploading out of the box. 
• Built in Google Satnav

The tablet will be out in the next few days from O2 and Carphone warehouse.
