Dell Streak 7 Now Available in the United Kingdom for £299
While we’re still hoping that this decent-looking tablet will eventually get Android 3.0, Dell’s gone ahead and made the Streak 7 available in the UK. You can pick the 7-inch tablet up for £299, but don’t let the modest price fool you: this isn’t the highest of high-end offerings. Yes, it has a Tegra 2 processor but when you consider the WVGA resolution on a 7-inch display and Android 2.2 with Dell’s Stage UI a lot of other 7-inch offerings look just as good. (If not better.) Don’t let me rain on Dell’s parade, though – you can buy it here if you want. Press details straight ahead.
DELL UNVEILS STREAK 7 AS THE ULTIMATE ENTERTAINMENT EXPERIENCE
BRACKNELL, UK, 14 April 2011 –Dell’s new feature-rich seven-inch Android™ tablet, the Streak™ 7 is now available in the UK. The sleek compact form factor preloaded with Dell Stage, Dell’s unique user interface, makes Streak 7 the ultimate entertainment hub for families and consumers craving a rich multimedia and web experience both at home and on-the-go. With a wealth of features, Streak 7 adds to Dell’s rapidly expanding mobility portfolio, which also includes the acclaimed Streak 5 pocket tablet.
Portable, passable and easily shared, the Streak 7’s smooth, fast performance makes Web browsing, video streaming and game playing an enjoyable experience. Its brilliant seven-inch WVGA touch screen with Gorilla® Glass makes Streak 7 ideal for watching movies or reading books and magazines.
In addition to a rich entertainment experience, the Streak 7 easily captures and shares life moments with the rear-facing 5 megapixel camera for high-definition stills and video recording. With a Wi-Fi + 3G model of the Streak 7 coming later this spring, capturing spontaneous moments with family and friends will be even easier.
Featuring Google’s™ Android 2.2 operating system, a dual core 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor and full support for Adobe® Flash® Player, Streak 7 gives users access to more than 100,000 applications, games and widgets from Android Market™.

The new Streak 7 will feature Dell’s innovative Stage user interface, which provides a seamless and unified experience for accessing all your favourite content.
