Dell Streak runs Android OS, comes with a 5 megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash, 3G connectivity and probably some AT&T services supported, since the carrier is working closely with Dell lately. In case you didn’t know, AT&T will be selling the Android-based Dell Mini 3 smartphone, so it wouldn’t surprise us to see the Streak in the operator’s portofolio.

After a couple of seconds of hands on experience, the folks of Pocket-lint and a few other sites present at CES claimed that the Dell tablet is very thin and promising.

The device is coming to the UK, at O2 stores in June. This touchscreen tablet sports a 5 inch display (WVGA capacitive touchscreen) and it can even be used as a phone. Dell Streak’s phone features derive from the fact that it supports 3G, WiFi, Bluoetooth, UMTS/GPRS/EDGE class 12 GSM radio with transfer speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps (HSDPA). The reviewer mentions that in no way this is a one-handed operation device and it can’t be considered a smartphone, in spite of it being smaller than the standard tablet.
I also have to mention that although Streak will be released with Android 1.6, it’ll get the 2.2 Froyo upgrade by the end of the current year. Also, the OS will be paired with a custom UI, it’ll support Adobe Flash Player and make good use of the 1GHz Snapdragon CPU. its more powerful than i-pad. :)
