Dell and T-Mobile have joined forces to produce the 7-inch Streak 7 tablet, specifically designed for T-Mobiles 4G network. Unveiled at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the tablet joins other Android-based devices flooding the market. The Streak 7 will hit store shelves “in coming weeks,” according to T-Mobile and Dell, although neither company is yet offering a firm price-point.

That being said, though, a handful of rival tablets being unveiled at CES run Android 3.0, which is supposedly optimized for tablets. That means the Streak 7, running Android 2.2, might have to undergo an upgrade in coming months if it wants to stay competitive within this fast-evolving market something that previously happened with the 5-inch Streak, which had to upgrade from Android 1.6 to 2.2 a few months after its August 2010 release in the United States. – …
