Dell and O2 UK are readying for the launch of the Dell Streak internet tablet exclusively on O2 UK’s network in early June. Running on Qualcomm’s 1 GHz snapdragon processor, the new Android-powered device features a 5-inch touchscreen, HSPA, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, a 5-megapixel camera and 2 GB of internal storage (upgradable to 32 GB). It also supports Flash and voice calls. The Streak tablet computer, claimed to rival Apple’s iPad, will be available across the UK via O2 and Carphone Warehouse stores in early June, and later in the month via Dell’s own website.

Dell and O2 today announced that the Dell Streak will launch exclusively on O2 early next month, bringing the internet, entertainment, easy turn-by-turn navigation and thousands of Android Market apps to customers looking for a big screen experience without having to carry a laptop around.

Available in early June through O2 stores and online at www.o2.co.uk and www.carphonewarehouse.com, the Dell Streak features a 5 megapixel camera, fast processor, built in Wi-Fi and can easily connect to a range of social networks.
“The Dell Streak is a bold new class of product, something we wanted to bring to our customers first,” said Steve Alder, O2’s General Manager Devices. “This means we can continue to offer our customers a range of the very best devices to make their lives a bit easier.”

“The Dell Streak hits the sweet spot between traditional smartphones and larger-screen tablets,” said Ron Garriques, president, Dell Communication Solutions Group. “Its unique size provides people new ways to enjoy, connect, and navigate their lives.”

O2 will be enhancing the Dell Streak experience with its intelligent network, great value tariffs and award winning customer service. This includes O2 Gurus in O2 retail stores and smartphone specialists in customer service to help customers get the most out of every product and service.
