Though I really am doubting that. Even the wireless radio on cellphones are much weaker compared to their laptop counterparts.

I think Google Chrome OS needs to come out and tablets need that instead of Android. Android is for cellphones and it should stay within the cellphona arena. Mark my words and watch the future for the next 10 years.

You will see Android will be popular in smartphones while the ChromeOS will be popular in tablets/netbooks/notebooks/laptops.

Thanks,

Before reading the following post, please know that I am in no way a fanboy; I'm just giving my opinion.

Why is this "tablet" so expensive? When I first heard about this device, I was really looking forward to it. I thought it was being marketed as some sort of competition to the iPad, what with its large (but still portable) size and decent array of features. I admire the iPad and what it has brought to the portable device scene, but in my view, it's just too big for any of my needs. Even though people may gawk and laugh at its limited functionality, the thing that caught my attention was the 3G data service plans. How Apple managed to pull that off with AT&T baffles me. Seriously, look at how nicely the plan fits with the iPad: no contract, $15-30 a month. To me, the Dell Streak seemed perfect, assuming it was going to follow a similar data plan.

Alas, I read this post and see that the Dell Streak is just another phone. I'm in the middle of a Verizon contract and really don't feel like switching carriers. In all, I believe the Streak had the potential to succeed. If only, if only.... ]]>Jun 2nd 2010 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/dell-streak-500-unlocked-in-us-available-next-month/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/dell-streak-500-unlocked-in-us-available-next-month/Jun 2nd 2010 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/dell-streak-500-unlocked-in-us-available-next-month/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/dell-streak-500-unlocked-in-us-available-next-month/
Give it a month and through Fatwallet or similar I guarantee you'll be able to pick this thing up for $350 or so.

I'm just looking at it from a tablet standpoint and it seems like many are viewing it from the smartphone point of view.

@Joseph9307
You bring up some valid points about the 3G data. As a college student surrounded by WiFi everywhere, I don't need to depend on data services to use my iPad. I also feel like 5 inches is an odd size; not big enough to be entirely useful, but yet a little bit too big to be a comfortably sized phone. It barely fits in the dude's hand in the pic.
I have a Droid and if anything, would upgrade to the Incredible because of Sense and faster hardware. I like the Acer Liquid E, but a 768 MHz snapdragon? C'mon, we started with 1GHz right after the Droid released.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/dell-streak-500-unlocked-in-us-available-next-month/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/dell-streak-500-unlocked-in-us-available-next-month/
Well, you are comparing a product who is not a tablet and neither a smartphone, up against an oversized iPhone-tablet? How is that right? It's like comparing a medium sized pizza with all the goods on it, with a sloppy cold huge one with only cheese. ]]>Jun 2nd 2010 7:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/dell-streak-500-unlocked-in-us-available-next-month/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/dell-streak-500-unlocked-in-us-available-next-month/Even the crappy Android tablets are 7", which actually seems like a more comfortable size than my iPad to be honest.

I also don't know why it's useful if it's neither tablet nor smartphone.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 7:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/dell-streak-500-unlocked-in-us-available-next-month/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/dell-streak-500-unlocked-in-us-available-next-month/Jun 2nd 2010 7:22PM
