    I wouldn’t even say they announced it. Apparently Michael Dell just casually mentioned it at Oracle-related conference. Of course, we already knew there would be larger versions of the streak. What I don’t understand is why they released the tiny version first, and not a larger version with wider appeal?

    At any rate, no other information was released, other than that it would also run Android. I think we can safely assume it’s going to simply be a larger version of the Streak, but perhaps with the “phone” aspect slightly downplayed, since holding even a 5″ tablet to your head to make a call is pretty ridiculous.

    Ah, we were there and got video:
