Announced yesterday that O2 would be launching the Dell Streak next Friday, it seems that they are half way to making a successful product as they've given it a stupid name and I must say that it looks like a rather interesting product.

Addresses a couple of key issues for me, my Hero and iTouch screens are too small for anything but a couple of minutes web browsing or youtube but the iPad is too big to take anywhere unless I have a bag with me in which case I may as well take my MacBook.

In addition it has a camera, multitasking, flash support, GPS, Sat Nav and can be used as a phone (though I suspect you'd want to use a bluetooth earpiece which lets face it makes you look like a cock).

It all comes down to pricing but I'm going to be watching this with a lot more interest than the iPad.

Desmo · 27-05-2010, 12:14

Yes.....but without the phone capability

I may be getting a freebie from Dell in a couple of weeks. I like the look of it, shame about the name though.

I can't be the only person who thought it was a competition to Streak outside of an iPad opening can I?

There's plenty of time yet. Can you get to an Apple store in the next 30 minutes?
