Woot. I’ll be getting to Beta test the Dell Streak, a new “micro tablet” device.

waiting for review
.

Just a heads up, it will be about 2 weeks before I get it in the mail. From what I can tell they used to call it the dell mini 5 (I think it used to have a 5 inch display). The streak comes in a 7 inch and 10 inch version (not sure which version I will receive) and are a voice activated mini-tablet… i.e. a really big phone. I have read that to use it comfortably as a phone a blue tooth is pretty much required.

I’ll give it a review after about a week of use and update it as I get questions about it and if/when i come across bugs/problems etc.
