Samsung to launch tablet

Samsung is set to release a tablet of its own, with a US launch date of July. The tablet, called 'Galaxy Tape,' has a 7-inch OLED screen, a 1.2 GHz processor, and 16 GB of internal memory that can be upgraded to 48 GB.

Other details are still unreleased, but a photo of the Galaxy Tape (above)--which was promptly deleted after briefly appearing on Samsung's South African Twitter feed--suggests that the user interface will be similar to Samsung's Galaxy S phone.

Tech Radar reviews Dell Streak

Chris Smith reviews the Dell Streak on Tech Radar. He praises the 'sleek device' for its functionality and power, writing:

We were impressed with the interface Dell has pasted over the Android 1.6 operating system. It's very logical and allows rapid manoeuvring between the Streak's outstanding feature set . . . Whizzing through menus and working within applications is extremely snappy thanks to the 1GHz processor, which is a match for any smartphone we've seen this year.

While he was disappointed with the 'poor speakers, under-performing music player, distinct lack of a messaging dictionary and lack of Flash support,' Smith still felt 'overwhelmingly positive' towards the Dell Streak.
