Hands on: Dell Streak overview
1 Streak is the Dell tablet
Dell and its partners are clearly positioning Streak in tablet device not because every piece of advertising is using the T word. But if it was not IPAD were not sure what would this information. 169 WVGA 800 x 480 screen is a 5-cm wide, so it is much larger than the iPhone or HTC Desire, it is certainly not a film in the traditional sense. It is even more smartphone bigger than the film in our book, because the tablets are usually larger IPAD clocks with 9.7-inch display, for example.
2 But Dell can call Streak
Yes Streak is a tablet, but is a function of the novel. You can also make phone calls to people! You know, as it once was. The only problem with this feature is that you look stupid. Streak accommodate the concept is not far up IPAD ear. Fortunately, however, also comes Streak stereo Bluetooth 2.1, so you can easily use the headset instead.
3 Dell Streak running Android
Dell first showed off Streak in January at CES in Las Vegas. We were impressed by her appearance, even then. Although it is suspected to run Android, we did not know for sure. Dell, however, certainly a big step because of its Windows-centric Android past. Streak comes with Android 1.6 with several bug fixes and designs, but above all by giving a standard Android experience with full access to all the Android Market has to offer. Who gives a full turn-by-turn Navigation Google Maps, assisted by the built-in GPS(which the basic Wi-Fi only IPAD Apple has not, of course). Dell claims that this year well see Android get Streak 2.2 update in Adobe Flash Player 10.1.
4 Dell did not Streak packed Snapdragon Atom
Qualcomm now known based on the ARM 1GHz Snapdragon chip powers Streak, something we are convinced that the long-term partner, Intel Dell watches with interest. Intel has just announced a smartphone version of its system-oriented Atom(though not yet announced phones) it also supports Android.
5 Streak is the Dell device for video conferencing
There is no front facing VGA camera, and Dell has promised to video chat applications and other software innovations to the end of this year. For normal photography does not have 5 megapixel camera with autofocus on the back and dual LED flash and send with a single button to the Internet.
6 Streak is the Dell Gorilla Glass
Display is difficult. Really difficult check it out.
7 Streak Dell does not have a lot of memory on board
2GB. Its disappointing amount of space on the device expensive and although it is sufficient for many applications for Android, youre almost not be able to store huge amounts of music and photos. But there is no support for microSD? C to 32 GB? C and 16GB card is included.
8 Dell Streak is packaged in Bamboo
I have not seen it yet? C as we have only seen the device in a small bag and not in the field? C, but according to Dells Streak is packed bag made from 100 percent sustainable, compostable bamboo. Errrrr.
9 Dell Streak is available through O2 and Carphone Warehouse
O2s initial exclusive on the handset, with its own stores and Carphone Warehouse sales in the first place. own website Dell will begin shifting streaks in the same month. You can download them for 25 months with no voice or add text, or 35 per month with voice tariffs.
10 Or you can pay 429
As for the SIM-free, Streak Dells price is 429? C, the same price as some other film we have seen recently. Its quite a strong amount when you consider what IPAD can do his memory and the size of the screen.
