Full of Apples? Time for a Streak!
Full of Apples? Time for a Streak!
If all the media hype, advertising frenzy and newsstand promotions are anything to go by, the only place you’re likely to be reading this newsletter in the UK is on your iPhone while queuing for your new iPad.
But what if the interminable delay between the US launch of Apple’s new toy and its eventual emergence this side of the pond has given you time to get over your original excitement and allowed iPad fatigue to set in?
Fear not! Dell is at the ready to try and tempt you with its very own sexy tablet touch-screen thingamajig. They call it the Streak, and it’s not really a tablet at all, but instead would sit between a smartphone and a netbook on your goody shelf. It’s a five inch Android device, or ‘MID’, that Dell promises will keep you connected during your business day as an efficient phone and productivity tool, while cheering you up as a superb media player and web browser by night.
Unlike the iPad (fantastic screen for media, not so great on a rare sunny day in Blighty) we’ve yet to get our hands on a Streak (happy to help), but hope Brits aren’t kept waiting quite so long by Dell as we were by Apple…
