Dell Streak launches in UK

Dell's Streak - another contender for the iPad's throne - has been launched today across the UK today.

The tablet has a five-inch capacitive screen and will run Google's Android OS. It comes with 16GB of memory - expandable to 32GB - but, unlike the iPad, users can make and receive calls on the device too.

The Streak will be available on the O2 network with a variety of plans on offer, from blended voice and data tariffs to data-only deals.

People eager to get their hands on the new Dell tablet can head to the Carphone Warehouse or O2 stores and online to pick up their Streak.
