Dell’s 2 new tablets leaked Streak and Looking Glass

I just saw this on PC World’s site. It seems the rate of gadgets coming out keeps getting faster. I have an Ipod Touch, a netbook, and a laptop. I do plan on buying a new tablet or notebook in the future, but will probably hold off till Christmas time. In the meantime, I will just continue to monitor all these cool gadgets.

I don’t know if these are directly competing with the new Apple Ipad or the Ipod Touches at the smaller sizes. I do like they have the capability to add storage, but I wonder why they don’t have USB capability. Without that USB ports, I think it is lacking.

Forget about boring old next-generation iPhone leaks, more rumors are afoot about Dell’s aggressive moves into the mobile space with its lineup of Android-based tablet computers. Engadget has uncovered what it claims are leaked documents detailing information about the 5-inch multitouch Dell Streak tablet (also known as the Dell Mini 5), and Dell’s 7-inch multitouch tablet device, known as the Looking Glass. Engadget’s images of marketing material for the Streak 5 reveal the device may be released this summer or possibly as late as September, while the Looking Glass looks set for a November release. There’s also no word on pricing for either device.

According to Engadget, Dell’s follow-up to the Streak (aka Dell Mini 5) will be a 7-inch tablet called the Looking Glass if Engadget’s leaked documents are correct. The new device is said to be running Android 2.1 and will include a 7-inch WVGA screen with 800 by 480 display resolution; 4GB RAM; 3G, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity; 1.3 megapixel camera (no mention of a front-facing camera); and optional TV tuner. The Looking Glass will also have a memory card slot supporting SD, SDHC and MMC formats, but maximum storage will be relatively low at 32GB.

Engadget’s alleged leaked Dell documents also say the Looking Glass will be powered by Nvidia’s Tegra 2 mobile system-on-a-chip processor, which was designed primarily for tablets. Tegra 2 uses an ARM Cortex A9 dual-core processor.
