Dell Streak: Tablet too small, too big Smartphone


When I talk about the future of tablets, it is imagined is Apple iPad, Playbook RIM, and Samsung's Galaxy Tab. The third reason is the candidate tablet product for the consumer who will be staying digadang rise.

But after trying these products from Dell, it's not fair if it does not include it as an alternative to tablets which consumers will be eligible to own. It's a product called Dell Streak glimpse of this 'ambiguous'. If said to be a smartphone size too big. While it is said as a tablet, the screen is too small compared to 5 inchnya Galaxy Tabs are present by 7 inches.

When tested, the reality is precisely 'ambiguity' is what makes this product has its own selling point. I call it a hybrid tablet. Sometime later I thought, cool also have tablets that can be used to call, fits in the palm of the hand, and can be entered front jeans pocket.



Function First Tablet or Mobile?

When Apple iPad him trying to pick up the tablet market with its ecosystem, Dell actually offers tablets this hybrid with a slightly different form factor.

Thin tablet has a size of 5 inch screen with multi-touch screen. With the processor at 1 GHz, this product is enough when used as a function of a tablet Android to run existing applications in the Android Market.

It seems that Dell saw a gap in the market itself, where relief tablet screen when using merged with the functions of a smartphone. In Indonesia, this is Dell's first product that carries the hybrid concept. 5-inch tablet armed with the Android OS, with a battery that can be released, as well as forms that are still fit for inclusion in the pocket.

Actually what the main function of Dell's Streak? Tablet or smartphone? Dell's own party said its first function is a tablet not a smartphone. At first I did not approve of it, because like other Android phones, smartphones functionally they are positioned for head to head against the iPhone.

But after a few days using this product, I think the Dell is appropriate if the calling function is the first tablet. Why? Because after days accompanied by Dell Streak, thin 5-inch object is indeed in fact more convenient to use to interact in social networks, read the file. Pdf or news portals, see the file on YouTube, as well as make sharing images on the Internet through a 5 megapixelnya. Honestly, when used to call its size is too big.


Pas Design in a Pocket

Comes with dimensions of 152.2 (length) x 79.1 (width) x 9.98 (thinness) mm, Dell Streak classified tablet thin. Weighing only 220 grams, this product is not overload the user when inserted in the men's jeans pocket front, rear, or on a particular shirt pocket.


For the women, Dell Streak very fitting grasped and inserted in a small bag or shopping while they hangout. In comparison, the iPad or Galaxy Tab not quite fit when inserted small bags womankind, for example when used in a formal event like a wedding invitation.

My experience when using this product, Dell Streak is comfortable to grip. For large-handed users, such as author, size is not too small. As for the families of the handed tiny, its size is not too big but just right.

Carrying the screen that can change in landscape or portrait, the tablet is still comfortable when held in a lengthwise or sideways. Unfortunately, by default the new Streak Dell provided OS Android version 1.6. As a result changes the display in portrait and landscape can only be done when opening the application, can not now display the homescreen.


Two Function So One

Apple has iPad and iPhone, while Dell has a Streak. IPAD is a size larger than the iPhone - of course. This makes it convenient to use as a tablet iPad home. Meanwhile, when I want to walk out, the iPhone is more easily portable.

Well, Dell Streak comes with two functions. As a tablet, this product is comfortable when used for use in the home. Meanwhile, when I want to be invited the streets outside, Dell entered Streak fitting pocket. Maybe this is the selling point of the hybrid tablet
