Dell's Streak mobile device is introduced in Canada by Rogers
The Dell Streak tablet, a pioneer in the Android tablet market, has made its way to Japan and Canada. Originally launching in Canada with Android 1.6 Donut, the tablet has since undergone an official upgrade to Android 2.2 Froyo.
Dell, in an effort to enhance the user experience, released an over-the-air update for the Streak, upgrading it to Android 2.2 Froyo. This update improved performance and added features consistent with Froyo. However, this upgrade marked the final major official Android update offered by Dell for the Streak, as there were no widely supported official updates beyond Android 2.2 due to hardware limitations and Dell's limited continued support for the device.
In Japan, the price of the Streak tablet remains unknown. In Canada, the tablet retails at $549.99. As for the version of Android the Streak tablet runs in Canada, the information is not confirmed. It is, however, known that the tablet will work only on the Rogers network.
Meanwhile, rumours of an upgrade to Android Froyo for the Streak tablet persist. However, it remains unclear if the Streak tablet in Canada will indeed receive this update.
Sovy, a tech enthusiast with a keen interest in the latest technology and gadgets, has been keeping a close eye on the Streak tablet's developments. Beyond tablets and smartphones, Sovy's interests extend to AI and self-driven automobiles.
This news serves as a reminder of the early Android tablets by Dell, which often struggled with outdated OS versions and limited long-term software upgrades. Nevertheless, the Dell Streak tablet continues to intrigue tech enthusiasts like Sovy, offering a glimpse into the evolution of Android tablets.
