Dell's getting Tegra 2.
Tablets are the big thing at CES this year, and Dell was joining the fray in the 7-inch tablet space with the freshly announced Streak 7 tablet running Android.
The announcement was done by both Dell and T-Mobile as the mobile company will make it first 4G capable tablet for its network.
Tegra 2 will be powering this one, making it significantly more capable than its smaller sibling, the Streak 5. It also has a rear-facing 5 megapixel camera for high-definition stills and video recording as well as a front-facing 1.3 megapixel camera with the preloaded Qik Video Chat.
The screen, while being made with Gorilla Glass, has the same 800 x 480 resolution as the Streak 5, giving it lower pixel density. It also goes without the phone component, which isn't really a bad thing considering that holding a 7-inch slate up to your face could be a little strange. Still, it'd be nice to have the option of being able to make voice calls.
Dell's custom interface for Android 2.2 Froyo is called Stage, in line with the company's other customizations. Later this year, Dell will add syncing to Stage so people can keep their photos, contacts, calendars and other personal content synchronized across their Dell Stage-equipped devices.

LOL, I hope this is flame bait, but I'm taking it anyway. Sounds like someone is a little too scared to think for themselves. Let someone else make the decisions eh? Just tell you how much the check needs to be for? Companies just love consumers like you. Are you a solid Mac guy, or are you a hypocrite who uses Windows (or worse, Linux) on their computer (be it a PC or a Mac) because you need access to the wonderful software and/or hardware that other OSes support?
I remember in high school there was a year-book quote that read "I hate people who mix brands, when I wear Tommy, it's only Tommy." Some people need to realize they are holding allegiance to a faceless corporation that wants nothing but their money. Some people are loyal to the strangest things these days.
