Dell's Streak possibly to rival Apple's iPad. by Milota Sidorova

It was just a matter of time for markets to see rivals of new coming iPad. This time, Dell is launching its tablet like device called Streak. Bu so far, there's been not much description available. So far, we've known that it had five inch screen, operates on Google's Android system and would be offered via O2, part of Spain Telefonica and Carphone Warehouse. Android is currently the system used by increasing number of smartphones. That way Streak becomes more compatible than iPad.Streak is supposed to enter British market next month and American customers will see it this summer. Although Dell's Chief Executive Michael Dell hopes that Streak can attack amazing iPad sales, ! most of analysts don't expect so. The company expects to sell more up to million pieces, but this is certainly “a tall order”, said Will Stofega, an analyst from IDC.Streak is able to substitute mobile phone and has certain PC features. It is probably having wifi. But it is havingan external memory slot, so compared to iPad, it is more interactive with information environment. But the major disadvantage could be “lack of skill in software”, suggested Forrester analyst Charles Golvin. Apple, for instance runs around 200,000 applications, although only few of them actually make sence and have some importance. Dell is currently trying to catch up to its rivals, since it has fallen from being the third largest PC maker past months.Finally, although Streak doesn't seem to be full time rival of iPad, it can be a good supplement on the market.
