Dell Streak Gets a Price Tag, but Release Date Slips

Dell Streak, the anxiously awaited 5" display smartphone-tablet hybrid, finally has a price tag, but its July end release date is getting increasingly uncertain.

The first serious competitor to the iPad will sell for $300 with a two year lock in contract with AT&T, and for $550 without the contract.

A video posted on YouTube on Monday by Kevin Andrew from the Dell Streak development team showed an Android 2.1 powered Streak - with Dell user interface enhancements, like an animated screen saver - suggesting Dell may release the device in the US with Android 2.1, instead of release 1.6 that powered the devices released in the UK in June.

Later this year, Dell will release over-the-air platform updates: Android 2.2 Foryo, Adobe Flash 10.1, plus other enhancements like video chat applications and more.

A presale offer on the Dell website had raised hopes that the release of the device is imminent. However, a Dell spokesman told Computerworld on Tuesday, July 27, that Dell Streak will not go on sale before the end of July, as indicated on the Dell site.

"I can say definitely that the Dell Streak won't go on sale in July," said spokesman Matt Parretta in a telephone interview.

The Dell site, however, continues to say the Streak will be available before the end of July.
