Dell shows off Streak 10 Pro in China

Dell has launched its Streak 10 Pro tablet in China this week.

The Honeycomb tablet is the company's first 10-inch model and is priced competitively at 2,999 yuan ($465 USD).



Streak 10 Pros feature a 1280x800 resolution, dual-cameras, edge-to-edge glass, Tegra dual-core processor, an SD slot, and is just 0.47-inches thick while weighing 1.5 lbs.

Dell also sells a dock that adds multiple USB ports including a "Host mode" which allows for PC emualtion.

John Thode, a Dell vice president and manager of Dell's mobility business, told Cnet why the company chose China for launch:

This...avoids a bunch of the inhibitors and barriers to success that we've seen in the U.S. market. Things like confusion over what exactly Android is bringing to the table.

  I wonder if one of the barriers to success in the English speaking world is the fact that it is named after a fecal stain.

  There should be Chinese knockoffs out before they release it in the US. If it's worth knocking off...

  Why would anyone do a Dell Knock-Off? They could just create their own generic name brand that no one has ever heard of and people would think, "It can't be worse than a Dell".

  Yeah, more like confusion over we don't want to be sued for patent infringement!
