Dell Pitching "streak" Tablet To Schools, Government

Dell Pitching

The PC maker hopes to sell its new tablet computer to the public sector as well as consumers.

Senh: It's a tweener - bigger than a smartphone, but smaller than the iPad. I have an HD2, which has 4.3" screen. The Dell Streak is only 5". That's not much bigger than what I have. Is it really a tablet computer? Sounds more like a smartphone. I'm kinda disappointed by Dell. This is no tablet. This is just a bigger smartphone. I was expecting a bit more. Meh. If you already have a smartphone, there's really no reason to get this. The nice thing with the iPad is you can actually browse the web without zooming in and out. The experience on the Dell Streak is not much different than a HD2, Evo, or Droid X, so why bother. For the record, this is a smartphone; it's not a tablet.
