It's a world full of tablets, and we're just living in it.
Dell's Streak
10 Pro has seemingly got lost in the mix; with so many other Android
3.0 tablets stealing the limelight, it's being an elbowing match to get
coverage these days. Now, Dell's ready to introduce their own 10"
Honeycomb tablet, but it won't be coming to America first. Dell has
confirmed that they "are indeed working on 10" tablet products," with
one in particular aimed at "prosumers." They're also working on a
Windows 7-based tablet for enterprise consumers, which is due out later
in the year. Evidently the company seems some pent-up demand for a Win7
tablet, signaled by their intentions to go forward with this instead of
holding out for Windows 8 (or whatever it'll be called when the codename
gets dropped).
The 10" Android tablet will be the Streak 10 Pro, and strangely, it'll
hit Lenovo's home turf later in the summer. After launching in China,
Dell will be "evaluating" launch plans for other regions and locales
during the second half of 2011. Dell goes on to answer the question:
"Why China?" The answer's obvious: it's home to tons of people, and Dell
sees tremendous growth opportunities here. The company isn't revealing
additional specifications yet, but hopefully they'll be revealed soon
(along with a price). The 10" Honeycomb sector is seriously crowded, but
with a name like Dell, they're definitely welcome to the party.
