HITTING A SWEET SPOT

The Dell Streak, a carbon black Android-based tablet with a 5-inch display, is designed to provide an excellent “on-the-go” entertainment, social connection, and navigation experience. The spacious 5-inch screen is ideal for experiencing thousands of Android Market widgets, games and applications, all without squinting or compromising portability. Built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth capability and available 3G connectivity brings easy access for downloading and listening to music, updating social networking status in real-time, and staying connected to friends and family through e-mail, text, IM, and voice calls.

On-the-go students, mobile professionals, and active families will find Streak’s web-browsing capabilities as natural as a laptop. The 5-inch screen is large enough to present Web pages in their natural form, create a comfortable viewing experience, and make turn-by-turn navigation simple. The Dell Streak is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon solution with integrated 1GHz processor to combine basic functionality and benefits of a laptop in a pocket friendly size.

The Dell Streak was designed with the future in mind to support future software, application and platform upgrades.

Still no news about the source code.

can all those who are registered on the dell community forums ( I can't login) please make a formal request for the source code for the streak.

Remind them that they MUST release it and quickly to be compliant with the GPL..

that other companies manage to get the source code out the same time the devices are released, and that the streak has been available in the UK for quite a while now..

If they don't comply with due haste then we will get gpl-violations involved..

the more that post the better..

I'm going to get some of the other bloggers to write about it..

I also think we should get comments about it onto EVERY article that links to the US release across the web..
