Dell Streak Review – Now Available in US

The Dell streak has been one of the premier tablet devices in the United Kingdom for quite some time now, and there was lot of speculation about when it would be available in the United States. Finally after a long period of anticipation it is being offered in stores throughout America. The sleek 5 inch portable beauty is a refreshing change in comparison to the plethora of smart phones that have been released within the last few years. The Dell Streak can be purchased for about $300 with a 2 year AT&T contract, and about $550 without the contract. Unfortunately for those that like to use cheap third party services the device locked to AT&T service.

The Dell Streak bears a striking resemblance to an all purpose portable media player, like the popular touch screen MP4 players. The device runs on the increasingly popular and powerful Android operating system form Google and comes with integrated Wi-FI connectivity. Of course the tablet also supports 3G internet, which makes it perfect for high speed browsing on the go. Unlike many portable devices the Dell Streak displays web sites in their natural form, instead of a compressed mobile version that is lacking much of the functionality and simplified navigation of regular web pages. The operating system is also a refreshing change in comparison to portable devices that operate with Windows. Google has done an excellent job of producing an operating system that is perfect for mobile devices due to its unique computing capabilities.
