Dell Mini 5 Prototype Gets Messed With
Feb 24, 2010 Dell
The lucky folks of Engadget got the chance to play around with a Dell Mini 5 prototype, that you can check out in the following images. The device is also known as the Dell Streak or the M01M. This can be considered an Android-based MID with a 3G phone inside and guess what… if fits your pocket. What tablet can do that?
The device runs Android 1.6, features a 5 inch 800 x 480 pixel capacitive touchscreen, a Snapdragon QSD8250 chipset (1GHz clocked CPU), WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth and support for WCDMA connectivity. Dell Mini 5 is only 10mm thick, it weighs 8 ounces, with the battery included. The latter provides almost a day of normal usage with 3G on.
As far as memory is concerned, you get 405MB RAM, 1.63GB of internal storage and some microSD card action. Engadget’s tests have shown that the MID supports the usual Google bundle: Google Mail, YouTube, a WebKit browser (pinch to zoom included), Google Maps and more. Social networking integration is lacking from this prototype, at least from its home screen, but we’re hoping for a feature like MOTOBLUR in the final release.

CES 2010: Dell Reveals Android Tablet Details
Jan 10, 2010 Dell
Dell’s Streak tablet is yet to be announced, but we got some pretty interesting details @ CES 2010, regarding the 5 inch device. Apparently, the PC maker might call it a Mini, just like its phone and the folks of Engadget speculated on the name “Mini 5″, that would certainly make sense.
According to the people who played with the tablet, Dell’s new product has a nice keyboard, includes a numpad on the right (in landscape mode) and we learn that the device runs Android 1.6, although we hope for an upgrade before it’s sold officially. There’s also a front-facing camera on board, capacitive multitouch support and more.
In the image above you can see the numpad we’ve mentioned before, which is a cool addition to regular virtual QWERTY keyboards.

CES 2010: Dell’s Streak Android Tablet Gets Demoed
Jan 9, 2010 Dell
We’ve heard about Dell Streak quite a while ago, October 2009 to be more precise, but now it’s time to get up close and personal with the tablet, since CES 2010 is going on these days. The device is a 5 inch MID, that was available in Las Vegas as a prototype, referred to by its maker as the “Dell Tablet Concept”.
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. We’ll wait for the final spec sheet and more details, till we give a verdict.

Dell Android Tablet Ready for CES 2010 Launch
Dec 12, 2009 Dell
Lately we’ve been distracted from the Apple Tablet rumours by Dell’s Android Tablet, that’s bigger than a smartphone and packs the features of a regular netbook. The gadget is meant to see the light of day at CES 2010 in January and all chances are that this is in fact the Dell Streak tablet we’ve seen a couple of months ago.
Dell’s upcoming device features a 5 inch touchscreen and it should be available in the UK starting 2010. Dell Streak is a 3G Android MID, meant to hit AT&T in 2010 and also packing a 5 inch touch display. Are the two devices one and the same or different?
They might as well be different versions of the same tablet…

Dell Tablet, Ready for AT&T Launch?
Nov 28, 2009 Dell
Taiwanese publication Commercial Times informs us that the Dell Streak tablet will hit the US with a 3G carrier plan, with the favorite operator being AT&T. Dell and AT&T will cooperate on this launch, that’ll take place next year. It’s very likely that this won’t the only model, because local manufacturer Qisda will make more than one device.
Dell Streak will run Android 2.0 and pack a 5 inch touchscreen display with a pretty high resolution. The same device will be used as a smartphone and it’ll support calling on AT&T’s network.

Dell and AT&T to Introduce a MID in 2010?
Nov 18, 2009 Dell
Dell is going to launch an Android smartphone in 2010, that’s for sure and they’ll do it by working with AT&T, but now it seems that this cooperation will spawn yet another product, a MID. China Times claims that Dell will prepare a bunch of MIDs produced by Taiwanese company Qisda.
We don’t have any info on the AT&T-branded MID, that might just be the device pictured above, Dell Streak. This device recently surfaced in Vietnam, running Android 2.0 and packing a 5 megapixel camera, plus support for 3G connectivity and WiFi. An official confirmation is all we need, at this point.

Dell Streak, New Android MID, Caught on Camera
Oct 22, 2009 Dell
After surprising everyone by announcing an Android phone and disappointing everyone with the real product, Dell came out with Android MID, Streak, hopefully a more successful device than the Mini 3i. It’s a leaky day today, since we’ve just managed to come across images and a video of the prototype of this MID.
Dubbed Dell Streak (not confirmed), this Android 2.0 “almost tablet” should support 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity and pack a 5 inch WVGA multitouch capacitive display, a 5 megapixel camera with dual LED flash, a microSD card slot and Bluetooth. A 1300 mAh battery is also on board and we expect a front videocall camera to also make the cut.
Here’s the video showing the new device in action:
