Is Dell preparing a Mini tablet to challenge the recently-announced Apple iPad and forthcoming HP Slate?
According to Shenzhen-based PC Online (http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmobile.pconline.com.cn%2Fmarket%2Fs z%2F1001%2F2034469.html&sl=zh-CN&tl=en), it just might be.
Called the “Dell Streak” or “Mini 5″ tablet, the device — officially model M01M — has a 5-in. 800 by 480-pixel touchscreen, Google Android 1.6, a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G mobile broadband, a 5-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash, another front-facing camera, and a 1530mAh battery.
Really, this device is more in line with a MID than an iPad competitor — but it shows that Dell is already trying to move into this space, riding Google’s open source wave.
The price for this BlackBerry Storm-like tablet device? ¥7,500, or approx. $1,098 USD.
