Mini

Dell’s Mini 5 tablet, or rather the Dell Streak, seems to be squaring up to join Microsoft’s Courier and Apple’s iPad in the ring. With it’s regular tablety form I reckon Apple should be the more concerned.

The Dell Mini 5 leak reveals the ‘Streak’ moniker and as it seems to have been used since October chances are that it’s more than a codename.

So, the Android loving Streak features a 5″ WVGA (800 x 480) touchscreen, capacitive buttons on the front as well as a front-facing VGA camera for video chat with a 5MP camera with autofocus on flash round back.

The leaked presentation also reveals that the device will come in an array of colours and offer the opportunity for custom skins through Dell Design Studio.

Now, Apple should be taking note that this Dell Mini 5 Streak presentation also shows that Dell has buddied up with Amazon. That means the Dell Streak will have Kindle ebook reader integration as well as Amazon MP3 and Amazon video. This makes it even with the iPad and with it’s cameras may just nudge the Streak/Mini 5 into the lead.

Are a pair of cameras enough to pull you from Apple’s iPad?
