Let's be honest, the original Dell Streak had a bit of an identity
crisis. The 5-inch device wasn't sure if it belonged in the tablet or
smartphone world, and ultimately it was targeted at a pretty niche
user. But its larger brother, the Streak 7, is more self-aware. It's a
honest-to-goodness tablet meant for doing all those tablet-y things --
surfing the web, reading e-books, watching video and more. Sure, the
Streak 7 may just look like an enlarged version of the 5-inch version,
but they differ in more than just screen size: the 7 packs a powerful
1GHz dual-core Tegra T20 processor, 1.3 megapixel front facing camera,
5 megapixel lens on the rear, T-Mobile "4G" HSPA+ connectivity, and
16GB of internal memory. The tablet runs Android 2.2 with Dell's Stage
UI for now, but Dell promises an upgrade to Honeycomb once it's ready.
It sounds like one of the more well-rounded 7-inch tablets on the
market right now and at just $200 on contract at T-Mobile (it's $450
without), it's actually quite well priced. However, there are quite a
few things that are going to keep 7-inch tablet seekers from forking
over the cash. What are those? We'll tell all in our full review --
