Dell Streak launches this Friday, presale starts tomorrow

Dell has finally released the Streak, which is a 5 inch Android powered tablet after speculation of delays earlier on. It will be sold for $299.99 (around RM950.00) via AT&T with a 2 year contract and $549.99 (around RM1,740.00) out right. Early birds that purchase during the pre-sale will get a free second-day shipping.

So what’s the Streak all about? It is 5 incher with dimensions placed smacked in the middle between a normal phone and a tablet like the iPad. Inside the Streak, it runs on the familiar 1GHz Qualcomm processor, a 5 MP Camera with dual flash, 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, 2GB of storage expandable with 16GB microSD card. The 5″ screen has a resolution of 800×480 which is pretty standard on high end Android devices today. The biggest gripe we have is that it runs on Android 1.6.

Some were saying that this competes against the iPad but it is too early to agree with that claim for now. It feels like a bigger version of a big screen phone like a HTC EVO 4G. There are several reviews of the Streak demo units and you can read them up on CrunchGear or Engadget.

Those in the US can register their details to be the first to know about the presale.

No words on international launch of the Dell Streak is available at the moment.
