Dell’s “Streak” MID Hits the Internet [VIDEO]

Say hello to the Dell Streak. The 5″ WVGA (800×480) touch screen mobile internet device (MID) has found its way online and into the hands of a few lucky folks. It was reported back in July that Dell had been looking at a family of products with screen sizes ranging from 4 inches to 12 inches . The full list of Streak specs isn’t known yet, but a few things have already surfaced.

Although it’s billed as an internet tablet/device, we see a screen shot that shows an incoming call. We’d love to learn a bit more on that.

• Android 2.0 MID
• 5″ WVGA (800×480) touch screen
• Bluetooth and 3G WWAN connectivity
• 5MP camera w/dual-LED flash
• microSD card slot
• 1,300mAh battery
• WiFi
• Three touch-sensitive buttons

The bottom side of the device shows what looks like a dock connector and the front has what looks like it could be a front-facing camera. Stat tuned to AndroidGuys for more on this one as we can gather it!
