A Closer Look at the Dell Streak 7 Wi-Fi Tablet

By Maryellen Giddens


Those who had laptop computers at first gave the iPad a tepid reception, not recognizing the potentials of the innovative gadget. Very rapidly, though, the potentials of the iPad became better understood. The iPad became sought out, gross revenues and profits soared upwards and all of a sudden all of the leading computer and cell phone companies wanted to get in on the action. The iPad and other tablets became the latest must-have. And Dell's shareholders were going to be worried if they didn't press and obtain a piece of the pie. That is why they have come out with the Dell Streak 7 Wi-Fi Tablet. We're going to examine this device in this article and give you the answers you need for you to determine if it's a good buy or not.

One remarkable feature is movies are clearer to watch than ipad movies. The first downside to the Streak 7 tablet is its manufacturer. Quality and dependability are not trademarks of this company's past offerings. This computer manufacturer's customer service reputation is likewise on rather precarious ground. Based on customer feedback, it looks like once your warranty runs out, you are going to be charged for contacting customer support. You'll see that perhaps the upfront cost of this device is lower than most, you have to factor in the long range cost of the company you're dealing with.

The Dell Streak 7 has the Android OS (this version is affectionately called Froyo), which means that it should permit you to multitask between various programs somewhat easily. You could listen to Mp3s, keep your GPS data current, and be given notice of several things through the system's notification service without being pressured to keep any specific application open and running. It provides user-friendly access to your Gmail and other e-mail programs and accounts, so you won't have to be worried about whether you can be reached when you have your tablet with you.

Video chat was not included with the first iPad offering, and it's great that it is with this Dell tablet. Video chat is built-in to this tablet by means of a front-facing panel camera and Qik software. The only catch is that the only people you will be able to chat with are those who have a Dell Streak tablet or a compatible device. Thus, video chatting with others who are using other platforms is not ensured. Another great thing is that the Streak 7 tablet features Blockbuster's On Demand service. You may have known that Blockbuster is going through its own share of problems lately so we aren't quite sure if this is truly a selling point.

Reviews at this point are few and far between, but it does seem that most people are leery as to the reasons why this tablet was developed. The Dell Streak 7 tablet's real use is limited by its not being encompassing and its resultant inability to communicate with other devices. Nonetheless, a keen desire for a tablet computer coupled with a limited budget might make this an ideal way to acquaint yourself with the technology. Just make certain you are aware of what you are buying before you actually give your money to Dell.
