How about someone holds one in their hands before blasting it because it's the train to jump on at the moment.
You won't find that kind of logical thinking around here when Dell is involved. The Apple lemmings come out in droves at the very mention of the Name.
For the rest of us, it appears there is yet another very capable device that has now come to market, running a very capable OS, in a form factor that very well may hit the sweet spot for many.
I really don't see how this device is a competitor to the Ipad since the Ipad isn't a phone. Is Dell stating so?

Yes of course the illogical lemmings come out, and you of course are logical to brand this is a very capable device based on a prototype (and we know where the ms and hp vapourware prototypes are now, up into thin vapour air), and a blog post. Absolutely no bias, just clear level headed thinking. Ah, and it has apparently "now come to market" too... would you care buying one tomorrow and letting us know then of your experience because you have a very strange conception of something coming to market.
How very ironic that you have the gall to call others derogatory names...
That video is lame as. The device looks like a pile of pants, it won't sell more than 10k units. "It has multi tasking, see it loads this web page when I do something else..." No that's the same bloody page you idiot!! I don't know how Dell can put that video out to promote a new product (Unless the product is actually more usless than it would seem!) If that guy was an Apple employee, Stevey J would have him taken out and shot.
What was it called? Dell Fail? oh that was it, Streak might has well be called Fail as thats what it will be why do they even try? Come on you Dell dudes, give me some hate!!
PS Who's going to in the line for the UK iPad launch in Regents St on Friday? No Dellboy's allowed!

Ok so I'm replying to my own post, but how long does it take to load the Dell website? answer forever. Either the Dell website is a load of crap (true) or the device if fitted with a 56k modem (maybe). Maybe Michael you should eat your own dog food "... I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders,". Sorry I have a special kind of hatred for Dell.
PS I'm also at WWDC10, if anyone fancy's more crazy rants.
I have absolutely NO need for a mobile phone or an iPhone. I would love a iPod Touch that had 3g wireless capability (call it a small iPad if you wish)! The only thing stopping me from buying a smartphone is the ridiculous prices you people are willing to pay for nonstop pointless jabbering.
This new Streak device drom Dell seems sweet, I'd love a bit of a larger screen in my iphone and the streak has flash support. I am not pro flash yet today I was trying to check rates and reservations, couldn't do it on my 3GS. Can't wait to try the Dell Streak, I hope the user interface matches the iPhone's.
Do you think that it is small enough to carry as a phone? I haven't seen one in person, but it seems big.
EPIC FAIL.....Mr. Dell please do us all a favor and give up. No one wants this or anything else your company has come up with.
Actually, in fact, Dell sells more computers each quarter than Apple sells in a year. Many many more people want Dell computers, compared to apple computers, so if "nobody" wants Dells...

Want? I want a Bugatti Veyron, a $20 million dollar mansion, and a Gulfstream V, but I can only feasibly afford a Merc, a much cheaper residence and single engine Cessna. By your reckoning I want those much cheaper and much more common items over the better ones.
idgi who wants to carry around a big android phone
btw and the android OS fragmentation continues
this is a little too big. just over 4" is the sweet spot. big enough to watch/read and fit in a pocket.
of course there seems to be a lot of people who want to pay lots of money for a gigantic ipod touch. i just laugh cuz after the buzz wears off you realize you just got robbed and have to tote that stupid oversized, overpriced thing around.
It's obviously targeted at Apple haters. They can tote it around and try to convince people that it's better than an iPad. Who needs all that screen space? Plus, it's perfect for when you have a big call to make.
holy crap that was funny.
Using this for a call...would be like when the Butabi bros pull out 80s phones in A Night at the Roxbury.

The more of these iPad "competitors" that hit the market, the faster the iPad will be developed by Apple. So... WInner!
good one

I haven't had a five-inch streak since Chi-Chi's went out of business.
Nice one. Heh.

They are making the shareholders nostalgic for Carly Fiorina. I never thought they'd pull that off.
Carly Fiorina was CEO of HP. (And championed/carried out/managed the HP-Compaq acquisition).

About a 70% larger footprint than iPhone.

Now that hasn't been true for some time now. Naughty!

worthless comparisons are worthless

Its fun to compare world wide sales vs US only.
