We've pretty much been waiting on the Dell Streak's Android 2.2 update
for as long as the 5-inch tablet / phone has been on the market, and
it looks like the time has finally come... well, at least for owners
of unlocked Streaks. Word is that Dell has started to push out its
over-the-air Froyo update to unlocked Streaks; those that purchased
devices locked to a carrier will see the update hit those 5-inch
screens sometime in December. (Note: Streaksmart also reports that
Dell will start selling an unlocked Streak in the US with Froyo
preloaded in the next couple of weeks.) There are details on the
entire upgrade process at the source link below, but just as we'd
heard, the update includes Dell's new Stage UI, which we've been told
will eventually be included as a software layer on all of Dell's
consumer devices. We got a chance to see the interface a few weeks
ago, and have to say the widget-based UI looks really slick. Those who
prefer their Android untouched will be happy to know you can turn off
the layer. We'll be doing an in-depth preview of the updated software
once it hits our AT&T and O2 Streaks, but until then you can check
out a few pictures of the new Froyo goodness below.
