Dell’s Android MID, a smart phone with everything except the phone…
From who? Dell, seriously? Dell putting out some really cool gear? Hell yes. Dell has been on a roll lately and look at their latest foray in the video above.
The Dell Streak a MID (Mobile Internet Device) it comes with a 5” Multi Touch Screen, Google’s Android OS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 3G connectivity. That’s right, it sports 3G cellular data but no phone functionality.
Man this is the right size for a media tablet. A 5” screen blows away the iPhone and iPod Touch screen size, but the 800x480 display feels a bit wanting. I’d like to see a resolution that could support 540p or even better yet 720p video for high def streaming and local playback.
There is a 5mp camera on the back, and a front facing web cam too, so this could probably pull off a nice sype connection in place of cell phone calls. In fact Skype plus Google Voice on one of these could be a killer combo.
No word on the price of this yet, but should it be around $299 in say time for the Holidays, it would make my wish list.
