Dell's upcoming 10-inch tablet is taking a more defined shape ahead of its expected June release. Tweaker claims that the 10-inch Dell Streak Pro will run Android 3.0 Honeycomb and will not get stuck with Android 2.2 Froyo as previously speculated, nor will it be part of Dell's Windows 7 tablet initiative. Contrary to older information, the Streak Pro also will not carry a 3D-capable Tegra chip, and therefore will not have a 3D screen.
Instead of the 3D-capable Tegra 2 T25 chip the Streak Pro was rumored to have, the tablet will instead have a Tegra 2 T20 dual-core chip clocked at 1GHz, as well as 1GB of RAM. According to Tweaker, the tablet is just over half an inch thick, will measure 10.25 inches by 7 inches, and will weigh 1.58 pounds.
The Streak Pro will have a 1280x800 screen, dual cameras (5 megapixels on the back and 2 on the front), and dual microphones. The tablet will be available in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB configurations, and will also have an expandable SDHC storage slot. The same sources mention that the tablet will have a "foldout cover with a built-in keyboard," though whether this will be an add-on accessory or included in the package is not mentioned. Likewise, prices and 4G LTE capability are still unknowns.
The indication that the Streak Pro will commit to Honeycomb comes only a few days after Google announced Android 3.1, the latest version of the Android tablet OS, as well as Google's indication that it will push for more rigid upgrade trajectories from manufacturers that choose to use Android. The Dell Streak Pro is slated to be arrive in June.
