    Dell’s long awaited Streak (2990 yuan online shopping lowest) Tablet PC users will meet with the mobile operator AT & T’s contract price for two years about 500 300 dollars or no dollars. Dell Sales Streak 5 inch screen tablet PC is considered to be beyond the advantages of 9.5-inch screen, iPad, and set the tone for him as a “dessert”, so that it can be like other tablet PCs or smart phones, like running. Of course, there are well versed in the negative side, Dell’s Streak are also likely to stumble and, like many other areas.

    Although I have not tried Streak, but I can imagine this device useful forum and a smart phone or tablet PC can make life simpler time. Streak is clearly more portable than a large-screen flat-panel computer more vulnerable to hold. Imagine holding an iPad or hold your ear next to a plate-sized tablet PC to record video, you’ll understand why Dell is a smaller frame can make you feel like using the digital camera or a Phone.

    At the expense of size, Streak will give up as a good e-reader capabilities. You may still read books in a device - Andrew Hsu program will allow you to Kindle, Nook, Borders and Kobo read, but not like this feeling in holding a book.

    In summary, I would like to Streak in the smart phone on the draw than the Tablet PC experience more advantages, especially considering AT & T will provide the equipment to provide voice service plan. So why not just use the smart phone? Even if a large number of intelligent machines is likely to cause the screen size is not enough. Full use of the device and insert sidebar menu design, and Andrew can be a good use of the operating system widget, on the main screen would certainly be more intelligent machines operating experience.

    Have to admit that: the larger the screen, the more inconvenient to carry. Dell, however, that the Streak is easy to carry, of course, may be more appropriate for handheld portable electronic reader.
