Dell Looking Glass tablet leaks: Tegra 2 coming your way in November

We'd already heard that Dell was working on larger tablets, and tonight's huge leak brought us tons of info on the Looking Glass, a seven-inch big brother to the Streak 5 that's due out in November. For starters, it's running Android 2.1 on a Tegra 2 processor, with an optional TV tuner module so you can watch ATSC or DVB-T programming on the seven-inch 800x480 display -- the same resolution as the Streak, which is sort of weak. In addition, the render on the slide shows an AT&T U-verse browser, though, which is interesting -- too bad there's no more info about it. RAM is pegged at 4GB, with another 4GB of flash for storage and an SDHC slot for up to 32GB of expansion, and there's a 1.3 megapixel camera. Yep, it's pretty much just a bigger Streak with a different, potentially awesomer processor -- imagine how slick you'll look with this bad boy held to your face on a call.

Wow, Dell is on fire. This is nice.

[TjK Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:22PM]

@Physicsguy89 and dell comes outta left field ....

[etwashoo Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:25PM]

@Physicsguy89

...but I'm kinda with Engadget on this one. Bigger but no better resolution than the 5". Doesn't fit in a pocket so it doesn't really do much for me. The other phone leaks are the "fire"

[skyblaze Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:26PM]

@(Unverified)

hmm... i thought they were more... "stormy" than "firey"

[benderfender Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:27PM]

@Physicsguy89 hot diggity dog! michael dell, welcome back...

[bolezhinkov Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:29PM]

@Physicsguy89

I bet Michael Dell was so sick of his fading company. this is such an excellent start to a new dell.

[abedinthehouse Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:31PM]

Looks like Dell has been saving everything its had the last few years for a full onslaught against everyone in every industry.
Kudos to you Dell! +1 for all these great gadgets, cant wait to try them out.

[HardToBelieve Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:34PM]

@Physicsguy89

I look at Engadget and all I see is Dell. I just want to say, that I've been a Dell fan boy from the start. That is all.

[SolidSnake Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:34PM]

@Physicsguy89
This is an important news bulletin:
Dell is now under the control of Skynet.
Details at 11..

[etwashoo Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:36PM]

@Physicsguy89

Android is on fire! Seven articles in a row on Engadget - must be some kind of record.

[BrandonHarris Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:37PM]

@Physicsguy89

EDIT: Dell's PR Team is on fire. This is nicely planned.

[The Advanced Kind Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:38PM]

@Physicsguy89

Codec support is very weak. I will be buying one of the first crop of tablets, but I expect support for x264 and xvid video codecs in mkv and avi containers, respectively.

[Physicsguy89 Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:40PM]

@etwashoo

Yeah the resolution is disappointing

[Anatidae Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:45PM]

@Physicsguy89 Unlike the phones, this is just ok. I hope their 10 inch rumored model brings the fire.

[Atkins Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:47PM]

@Physicsguy89 WTF just happened? I was so sold on the iPad and wasn't thinking of changing my iPhone and now this. The iPhone for sure is gone.

[staticjethro Posted Apr 21st 2010 10:25PM]

@Physicsguy89
Just a reminder, It will have 512MB of RAM and ROM. Not 4GB or RAM and ROM. See the Pics in the Galery. "4Gb" of RAM and ROM up to "32GB" of Micro SD storage.

[SiLeNt KNighT Posted Apr 21st 2010 10:48PM]

@Physicsguy89

Looks pretty lame. I was expecting a more powerful product from Dell. Somebody said Dells been saving this tech for years and are starting an onslaught. I agree, sure looks like the the tech and hardware are from 2 yrs ago

[John Doe Posted Apr 21st 2010 11:20PM]

@HardToBelieve The real question is are we going to start seeing articles on how to get your Dell streak through airport security. Here are some cool wallpapers for your Dell Streak. Dell streak is causing a cultural shock....Oh wait we are because Engadget is mostly an Apple site. :^|

[EL MAESTRO Posted Apr 22nd 2010 12:02AM]

@HardToBelieve
Sux for u bro. Dell makes crap hardware!! I can't remember the last good or powerfull piece of hardware that was outstanding.

[RLBurkes Posted Apr 22nd 2010 12:29AM]

@EL MAESTRO How long until Google buys dell?

[juanvaldez Posted Apr 22nd 2010 2:59AM]

@Atkins Woah, Atkins, just caught that. Kudos.

[tmarks11 Posted Apr 22nd 2010 9:04AM]

@EL MAESTRO Dell mini 9 netbook. $225 new, with WinXP. Superior construction. Works well, very compact. Made me decide that Dell actually made some decent computers. Previously, I shared your opinion.

Too bad they discontinued it.

[nswprop Posted Apr 22nd 2010 8:09PM]

@HardToBelieve
Dell have an answer for the big player like Apple and HTC this time! And I like Dell's answers very much. I never been a Dell fan, but I've just enrolled myself.

[meekasanjinez Posted Apr 25th 2010 6:11PM]

@Physicsguy89 That's what she likes! Glass tablet reactions-- http://j.mp/dell-new-glass-7

[maxxorz Posted May 11th 2010 12:29PM]

@RLBurkes

Never. Michael Dell is one of the richest persons in the world, and Dell (the company) is not floundering.

[tomer Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:18PM]

Awesome

[ndrwme Posted Apr 21st 2010 10:19PM]

@tomer Awesome to have a superleak right after the iPhone 4G fiasco to cover up all that nonsense. I dare anyone say a front-facing camera is cooler than 5 new Dell devices.

[HoldenMccrotch Posted Apr 22nd 2010 5:13AM]

@ndrwme
ive gotta say, dell have pulled an apple.
i mean, when Microsoft announced the slate you saw barely anything on it, a lil while later, ipad is announced and thats all weve seen since XD
its the same wioth this, iphone 4g found, lil while later, these bad boys are shown about :P

either excellent timing for dell or great planning :P

@HoldenMccrotch

FWIW, Slate isn't a Microsoft product.

[whatpoint77 Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:18PM]

I hope you ment 4gigs rom, not ram

[BigJayDogg3 Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:27PM]

@whatpoint77

It has 4 gigs of both.

[BadWolfCubed Posted Apr 21st 2010 10:13PM]

@whatpoint77 Yeah, I don't believe for a second that this will pack 4GB of RAM. Gotta be a mistake.

[megakilo Posted Apr 21st 2010 10:15PM]

@BadWolfCubed from the picture, I found it's 4Gb which is 512MB...

[Ahmedz Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:18PM]

I have a feeling that Dell got jealous of what happened to Apple and decided to leak everything!

[smallj Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:34PM]

@Ahmedz or maybe they dont care about apple and just want more sales and everyone to live happy (Steve Jobs has finally failed with the Ipad but the ipod and iphones are awesome)

[uck Posted Apr 21st 2010 10:28PM]

@smallj

You will be eating your words about the ipad being a failure. Just sayin.

[nswprop Posted Apr 23rd 2010 12:56PM]

@smallj
APPLE product will never fail! We are all well-trained to buy apple products, no-matter what. FB rule! U fail.

[Meekermoloko Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:19PM]

Dell's making a comeback, baby!
And we thought you were going the way of the Dodo.

I'd tip my hat to you, but I haven't got a hat.

[Frawley Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:19PM]

Whoah Engadget and Dell are really having a holiday today!

[mogren Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:19PM]

Wait, can this really make calls?

[DrDr Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:19PM]

@mogren

Can the pope cover up a sex abuse scandal?

[ryan420 Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:22PM]

@DrDr

+1 Internets for South Park reference

[Irondog Posted Apr 21st 2010 10:28PM]

@DrDr Oops! Went for the+, and mr. Stubby finger gets the-.

[DrDr Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:19PM]

OMG, its a Dell Avalanche

[Kamil R Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:19PM]

Dell is rocking my mind!!
Also, anybody else notice that these articles are being published at :30 min intervals? Looks like engadget doesn't think we can handle all the goodness =P

[whatpoint77 Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:19PM]

I mean 4 gigs of Ram actually wouldn't be that bad

[Teslanaut Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:19PM]

Promise?

[kb24istrash Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:20PM]

I BET iPAD IS WAY BETTER!!!

[cc3d Posted Apr 21st 2010 9:20PM]

Dell must have had a shitload of employees get drunk and leave crap at the BAR!!
