Dell Streak Officially Announced For The UK, Available In The US Later This Summer

One of Dell’s worst kept secrets, the Dell Streak, has finally been officially unveiled by Dell. The phone/tablet hybrid is slated to launch in early June and will be available exclusively on the O2 mobile carrier in the UK.

I haven’t had the chance to play with one yet, but the Dell Streak seems like it will be a bit of an awkward phone, primarily due to its massive screen. With a 5 inch screen the phone attempts to fill in the gap between full blown tablets and cellphones…a gap that I’m not sure necessarily needed to be filled. From what I’ve read, the phone looks a bit goofy when held up to the face and used for calls.

Dell Leaks Continue: Streak 5 And Aero Get Fully Spec'ed

Posted by in Aero, Dell, News, Streak

Looks like this is the last set of Android related Dell leaks that Engadget miraculously dug up yesterday.

Dell Aero

The first leak shines some light on the Dell Aero - Dell's upcoming budget Android phone. Previously, the only information we had about this phone was the 3.5" screen, a 5MP camera, and a June release date.

Because of the budget tag, we were now not surprised to find out that the phone would be running a 624MHz Marvell CPU, which is the same CPU the sometimes laggy Spring Design Alex eReader has inside.

It will be running Android 1.5 or 1.6 at launch but a refresh with 2.1 is planned for Q3 or Q4 of this year.

More Details On Dell's "Streak 7" Tablet Emerge - Official Name: "Looking Glass"

Posted by in Dell, Looking Glass, News

Dell has completely stolen the news spotlight today with a flood of PR, carefully leaked (so I think) to Engadget.

We now have more details about a device that used to be named "Streak 7" - Dell's 7" Android tablet leaked to Engadget a week ago. The previous leak mentioned that Dell's tablet line with an already announced 5" version called Streak 5 would be augmented by 2 more devices - a 7" and a 10" Streaks.

In light of this new information, we now know, for starters, the name Streak seems to only apply to the 5" version, while the 7" model will be named "Looking Glass".

The Leaks Continue – Meet The Dell Flash And The Dell Smoke

Posted by in AT&T, Carriers, Dell, Flash, News, Smoke

Engadget’s leaked a few more Dell phones that just might steal the just announced Thunder’s… well, thunder (that’s the last one, I swear). This time we’re focusing on two handsets that are confirmed to run Froyo and mix things up bit when it comes to form factor.

Dell’s Smoke is a qwerty candybar with an 800MHz CPU, a 5MP autofocus camera, 14.4Mbps HSPA and dual-mic noise cancelling technology. It also packs Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1+ EDR, much to the surprise of no one. You can count on a 2.8 inch QVGA display atop what looks to me like an especially cramped set of keys in a package no thicker than 12mm.

Dell Sets The Stage With Their New Android UI – Will Include Flash... And Run Froyo?

Posted by in AT&T, Carriers, Devices By Manufacturer, Flash, News, Smoke, Thunder

Finally, a decent Android skin that isn’t HTC’s Sense UI. Along with a few details about Dell’s newest superphones, we’ve been treated with plenty of information about their custom Android skin, dubbed Stage UI.

It seems that, initially at least, this new UI will be exclusive to Dell’s newly leaked trio of high-end Android phones, the Thunder, the Flash, and the Smoke. At this point there’s a bit of confusion as to which version of Android the Stage UI will be based on, with Engadget reporting that the Thunder will run Flash and Android 2.1 and the other two phones set to run Froyo.

Break Out Those Drool Buckets: Dell Brings The Thunder

Posted by in AT&T, Carriers, Dell, News

Holy Android sexiness Batman. Engadget has just busted out some glorious details and renders of the upcoming Dell Thunder – an Android superphone that certainly lives up to the title.

I was a bit taken aback by the announcement – as far as we knew, the only Android phones in Dell’s pipeline were the previously announced Streak and Aero, both of which are interesting, but not nearly as appealing as the Thunder. By the way, I really hope that’s a codename, if for no other reason than to avoid puns like “Hey, did you bring the thunder?”. Ba dum, TSH.

The specs are shaping up to be quite promising, based on what we know so far…which isn’t much.

Dell Streak 7 and 10

Dell Streak 7" and 10" Tablets Leaked, Aero Promised By June

Dell Streak 7 and 10

In addition to the already announced Dell Streak Mini-5 - a 5" tablet device, Engadget found out from a leaked memo today that the 7" and 10" versions are going to be coming as well. Dell seems to have dropped the "Mini" part of the title for these larger versions of the Streak.

Dell Streak 7 and 10

Looks like Dell has some sense after all - launching just a tiny 5" tablet would have left most consumers unsatisfied, prompting them to look for other options, such as an iPad or ICD Gemini.

The 5" version is said to come out late summer, the 7" one is rumored to launch in late 2010, while the 10" should hit the market in 2011.

Tablet Sales In 2010 - And The Winner Is… (Here Is A Hint: iPad VS Android)

Posted by in 5, 7, 8, Adam, ARCHOS, Enso, News, Notion Ink, Streak, zenPad

We have some interesting numbers today regarding tablet sales in 2010, courtesy of IMS Research - a research company specializing in a variety of topics, such as wireless communications, automotive, consumer, power, and security.

The report suggests that 24% of all tablets sold in 2010 will be running the Android OS. Microsoft will be following way behind at only 10% of the market.

The first place will be undoubtedly occupied by Apple's iPad, which was released 2 days ago and sold an estimated 700,000 units just on day one. We don't have the exact number from the report but Apple's share trumps all competition.
