We just got taken into a quiet side hallway for a 90 second photo shoot with the
Dell slate device. It's... red. It's also a nicely thin five-inch Android device with a dialer, but other than that we weren't getting any answers on the record, so the mystery continues. We will say that we saw a presentation sheet with the name "
Streak" on it, and that it looked to have a removable battery door on the back, but apart from that all we really know is that we desperately want to get this thing alone for longer than a minute and a half. Pics in the gallery!
P.S.- Our friend Stuart Miles from Pocket-lint learned that it does
indeed have a SIM slot. AT&T, here we come?

Does anyone know what the specs are on this?
So I suppose "slates" are in for 2010.
We should probably be coming up with possible names for the apple device.
Taken:
Slate
Available:
MacTablet
iGranite
iLimestone
MacTouch
MacBook Touch
etc...
*Yawn*, yeah, right, Dell made one, too, now. Only difference to other vendors is that it will probably break if you touch it too hard or put it in your pocket, stop working 2 seconds after the official warranty is over and have a battery life of 10 minutes ...
The article didn't seem to mention the 5.0 megapixel camera with dual LED flash, probable 3.5mm headset jack, and SD/microSD expansion slot on the side (it really looked too big to be microSD, but what do I know??)
Was that too obvious for anyone to say? or were they just not allowed to talk specs?
@LVLifeguard On the bottom? To me, that looked like a proprietary cable port.
