Folks from technobuffalo, jon4lakers has just published an unboxing video of Dell Streak in youtube. Dell Streak looks to be a valiant attempt to not only create a new market segment, but define it as well. The 5″ (Gorilla Glass coated) tablet is sitting on top of a skinned version of Android 1.6, with a full (AT&T capable) 3G radio inside for calls and data. Using a device of this size is no doubt going to take some getting used to, as we often had trouble adapting t the Droid X’s 4.3″ screen.
The Streak packs a familiar 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 5MPX rear camera (with dual LED flash), a front facing VGA camera for video calls, in a relatively svelte package. Over the next few days we’ll be showing the Dell Streak a bit more and answering all your questions. In the meantime, hit the play button to get your unboxing on.
