Dell hopes to "Streak" past iPad with new tablet device

Dell announced its new "Streak" tablet computer today. It'll launch in the UK next month and in the U.S. later this summer. Pricing was not announced.

It has a five-inch screen and a 1 gigahertz processor. It's got a 5 MP autofocus camera with a dual LED flash and a front facing camera for eventual video chat capability. You can also make calls on it.

Users can remove the battery. It's got integrated 3G and Wi-Fi plus bluetooth.

The Streak runs Google's Android operating system and will have access to more than 38,000 Apps.

According to most reports it'll have a monthly subscription plan via AT&T. But due to the small screen size, this is more of a phone competitor than iPad tablet competitor. The iPad is nearly twice the size.

Larger Streaks are apparently coming, however, and choice is always good.
