Resellers will most likely get their hands on a few of them, but like all resellers, the prices are way above the retail cost. For example SN Traders apparently is going to sell it:

They haven't listed a price yet though because..... Dell hasn't said anything on that yet....

However, I also recognize that dell has a much large development team than the developers in there spare time at xda or modaco. If 2.2 wasn't out by the end of august I would be disappointed, but expecting 2.2 to already be production ready when it was only released to manufacturers a couple weeks ago I think it a little bit wishful.

I'm guessing you lost the ability to read. . . the link you get in the email from dell is a link to buying the Dell Streak. They won't send you a link. . . until they are ready for you to buy it.

If you've not gotten an email (and nobody has), then you cannot buy it. Does that make any sense?]]>Jul 27th 2010 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/dell-shows-off-android-2-1-running-on-the-streak-still-planning/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/dell-shows-off-android-2-1-running-on-the-streak-still-planning/Jul 27th 2010 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/dell-shows-off-android-2-1-running-on-the-streak-still-planning/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/dell-shows-off-android-2-1-running-on-the-streak-still-planning/Jul 27th 2010 10:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/dell-shows-off-android-2-1-running-on-the-streak-still-planning/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/dell-shows-off-android-2-1-running-on-the-streak-still-planning/GTFO with this Dell.

It would be nice if Google made it so Android was more like a Desktop OS where in place updates are easy and regulated by the maker of the OS, rather than the hardware manufacturer. Of course, this would mean that the hardware manufacturers would have to stop making custom OSes and skins that are implemented deeply like that.]]>Jul 27th 2010 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/dell-shows-off-android-2-1-running-on-the-streak-still-planning/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/dell-shows-off-android-2-1-running-on-the-streak-still-planning/
What's even worse is not even just them being slow to update but with the release of phones with year old versions of the OS, I really wish Google would put their foot down and not allow new devices to be released with anything less than 2.1 at this point.]]>Jul 27th 2010 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/dell-shows-off-android-2-1-running-on-the-streak-still-planning/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/dell-shows-off-android-2-1-running-on-the-streak-still-planning/
This is possibly the reason why it's so late in coming out. Manufacturers refuse to let go of their grip on the SW releases as they make money out of them, they think.

Also. Worst product launch ever. Over here in the UK, the streak has been a total Ginger-Stepchild of a product. O2 simply never mention it. Most people don't know what one is when I talk about it.]]>Jul 27th 2010 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/dell-shows-off-android-2-1-running-on-the-streak-still-planning/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/dell-shows-off-android-2-1-running-on-the-streak-still-planning/
In a normal JVM environment, the bytecode for a program is run through an interpreter, which simply blindly translates bytecode to native ARM (or x86 or whatever platform it's running on). A JIT actually takes the bytecode and runs compiler optimizations on it before it executes the code.

In theory, this actually adds another layer of delay between code and execution. But in practice, being able to profile the hardware allows the compiler to make optimizations that wouldn't be known ahead of time.

Apps are no more or less update-able in 2.2 than they were in 2.1 or 1.6, etc.]]>Jul 27th 2010 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/dell-shows-off-android-2-1-running-on-the-streak-still-planning/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/dell-shows-off-android-2-1-running-on-the-streak-still-planning/
I had heard this was the plan for 2.2, but I hadn't heard any word one way or the other for weeks. I'm not really sure if there is any way to know if this is true until there is an update.]]>Jul 27th 2010 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/dell-shows-off-android-2-1-running-on-the-streak-still-planning/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/dell-shows-off-android-2-1-running-on-the-streak-still-planning/
