Dell Streak 7: The First 4G Tablet Within the US [Video]

The 7-inch version of Dell’s Streak tablet has been rumored and teased for months, but today it’s officially official! And what it lacks in size it makes up for in sweet, sweet 4G goodness.

The Streak 7 weighs under a pound, and is derived complete with 5 megapixel rear and 1.3 megapixel front-facing cameras, Nvidia’s graphically delicious Tegra 2 processor behind a 7-inch Gorilla Glass WVGA touch display. How much of a difference do those extra two inches make? For a bit of perspective, here’s how the Streak 7 compares to its five-inch baby brother:

Its size makes the most recent Streak not as pocket-friendly as the five-inch version, and places it inside the same portability gray area as the Galaxy Tab. That it’s still borderline phone-sized may mitigate the discontentment that the Streak 7 will launch with Froyo as opposed to Google’s tablet-friendly (and pretty special-looking ) Honeycomb OS. It’ll, though, support full Flash 10.1, and it weighs lower than a pound. And we’ve gotten word that it’ll get the Android 3.0 upgrade soon after its launch.

And let’s not forget that 4G! It’s the first tablet to hop on a 4G network, specifically T-Mobile’s supah-fast HSPA+ . I’m going to pick not to stress about what that does to the Streak 7′s battery life, and instead be all in favour of downloading silly online videos faster.

The images below show an earlier mock-up of the Streak 7 that we got to play with; the actual device could have a miles sleeker-looking black back. We’ll update as soon as we get a hands-on with the true deal.

If there is, as a matter of fact, a demand for this peculiar form factor, the Streak 7 has got what it takes to fill that niche. And in case there’s not, Dell also teased a 10-inch version that it feels like they’ll be targeting more at enterprise users.

The Streak 7 be available soon, at a value still to be determined.
