These are so far off in the future that I don't even know what to think. How long have we been hearing about the Mini 5? And it's still a whole year off? I can only imagine how it will be received then...

Seriously, why are these so far off? Are they at least planning to bump the specs up until then? Are these vaporware? What in the world is going on here?!?!?!]]>Apr 26th 2010 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/dell-sparta-and-athens-netbooks-looking-glass-pro-and-streak-va/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/dell-sparta-and-athens-netbooks-looking-glass-pro-and-streak-va/Apr 25th 2010 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/dell-sparta-and-athens-netbooks-looking-glass-pro-and-streak-va/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/dell-sparta-and-athens-netbooks-looking-glass-pro-and-streak-va/Apr 25th 2010 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/dell-sparta-and-athens-netbooks-looking-glass-pro-and-streak-va/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/dell-sparta-and-athens-netbooks-looking-glass-pro-and-streak-va/Apr 25th 2010 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/dell-sparta-and-athens-netbooks-looking-glass-pro-and-streak-va/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/dell-sparta-and-athens-netbooks-looking-glass-pro-and-streak-va/*Kicks iPad onto well]]>Apr 25th 2010 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/dell-sparta-and-athens-netbooks-looking-glass-pro-and-streak-va/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/dell-sparta-and-athens-netbooks-looking-glass-pro-and-streak-va/Ahu!

Until they make a kick -*ss movie with Great Alexander, don't expect much. By the way i'll buy both, because of their names!

They are off a bit. Im shocked to see a road map into 2012. Do they not know the tablet landscape will have changed drastically in 2 years. Apples iPad will have a 2nd and 3rd generation out by that time. I don't know whats going on over there at Dell but those tablets need to be out by the holidays 2010 not 2012.]]>Apr 25th 2010 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/dell-sparta-and-athens-netbooks-looking-glass-pro-and-streak-va/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/dell-sparta-and-athens-netbooks-looking-glass-pro-and-streak-va/Apr 25th 2010 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/dell-sparta-and-athens-netbooks-looking-glass-pro-and-streak-va/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/dell-sparta-and-athens-netbooks-looking-glass-pro-and-streak-va/Apr 25th 2010 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/dell-sparta-and-athens-netbooks-looking-glass-pro-and-streak-va/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/dell-sparta-and-athens-netbooks-looking-glass-pro-and-streak-va/

If Dell wants to complete in the tablet WAR they need to get a tablet out by the holidays/2010 not Q1/11. Preferably the Looking Glass. It "looks" nice and the specs are impressive. Consumers can change their minds quickly.

In 2 years WP7 will have taken off with many users so i should expect it to be in one of the Looking Glass models ready for me to pick up IF i haven't picked up something else.. ]]>Apr 25th 2010 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/dell-sparta-and-athens-netbooks-looking-glass-pro-and-streak-va/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/dell-sparta-and-athens-netbooks-looking-glass-pro-and-streak-va/
Don't follow the FY time line...Just below Q4 FY 2010 is Jan'10.

FY is calculated differently and confusing.

Streak should be available soon (1-3 months) ]]>Apr 25th 2010 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/dell-sparta-and-athens-netbooks-looking-glass-pro-and-streak-va/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/25/dell-sparta-and-athens-netbooks-looking-glass-pro-and-streak-va/
