Dell Kills the Streak 7 as Phonemakers Revamp Strategies
Back in August, Dell bid farewell to the Streak 5, one of the smallest versions of Android tablets. But it did not abandon the tablet race, as they still had the Streak 7 tablet, which runs on 2.2-GHz Nvidia Tegra Dual Core processor and has built-in Wi-Fi, and access to T-Mobile’s 4G mobile broadband network. But today they announced that the Streak 7 was killed.
Always Innovating.
Streak 7 is no longer available online, but you can browse our other mobile devices for similar products.
Del’s tablet offering has now dwindled down to the Dell Inspiron Duo, a laptop that converts to a tablet with its flip-hinge design. So unlike the Asus Transformer that requires you to connect a keyboard to turn the tablet into a laptop/netbook, you just need to flip the screen and you’re good to go.
The Inspiron Duo features Intel Atom Dual Core Processor N570, Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium OS, 2GB DDR3 SDRAM, Intel NM10 Express Chipset, Intel NM10 Express Video, 0.1″ Widescreen (1366×768) Multi Touch with Integrated 1.3M Pixel Webcam, 2 X 1W speakers, Up to 320GB SATA hard drive and a lot more.
Dell is taking advantage of the staggering growth in their PC market (especially with HP’s latest hiccups), so they recently decided to expand their portfolio offering. They launched the K-Series Advanced Line which is a portfolio of remote systems management appliances based on the acquisition of Kice last year.
Additionally Dell is focusing on delivering high performance computing devices to the general public. These are mostly smaller computers that pack a little bit of ‘umph’ though the specs aren’t really comparable to high end products. In the near future, Dell hopes that they can sell more of their products to to everyone and not just the general population.
As for other companies revamping their strategies, Sony will be officially flying solo by mid-2012. It’s not really a secret that Sony has been looking into acquiring Ericsson’s mobile shares in an effort to revive their mobile sector, and concentrate its mobile strategy around a single brand.
