Dell Streak: The first major iPad Challenger

May 30, 2010 | Comments 0

Dell is all set to launch Dell Streak the first major challenger for iPad in June. Apart from the similarity and technical details, the Streak will be running Android Operating System 2.1 which is upgradable to the newest 2.2 version that can make the difference while comparing. The current iPad OS don’t have fully fledged multitasking capability nor does it support flash which are boasted in the Dell Streak via the Android UI and Adobe Flash 10.1 support assistance. This can cover some spots where iPad leaks but pretty hard to predict whether it can beat iPad in the long Run.
