John Thode , Dell’s Vice chairman for mobile devices, has shared a Honeycomb-flavored snippet of his company’s tablet roadmap with CNET. The ten-inch Android tablet that we saw at CES and suspected can be with us this month will indeed be making its debut in the summertime, per Thode, but its launch market may be China, not the usa. He points to a whole lot of “inhibitors and barriers to success” in Dell’s homeland — resembling mobile carriers dictating pricing models that stifle the adoption of tablets and users being ignorant of “what exactly Android is bringing” — because the causes for Round Rock’s atypical decision. The Streak 10 Pro, as it’ll officially be known, comes with a Honeycomb-standard 1280 x 800 resolution screen, an edge-to-edge glass surface, two cameras (one in all them reaching a 5 megapixel res), an SD card slot, a thickness of 12mm, and 1080p video playback capabilities courtesy of an unspecified NVIDIA Tegra dual-core processor. A further dock will allow the ten Pro to behave as a USB host, while augmenting its connectivity with HDMI, Ethernet, and, obviously, a group of USB ports. America should still get to enjoy this bounty of options, but we’re told it won’t happen until 2012. During which point we’ll probably have a taste for fresher, icier versions of Android.
