Dell Streak 7 & Motorola Cliq 2 Coming to T-Mobile on January 19?


The Dell Streak 7, Dell’s latest Android tablet, has been involved in a series of controlled leaks in the last few days so we’re not surprised to see it appear in new rumors. And this Android tablet is in great company today, as it joins the Motorola Cliq 2, an Android handset also rumored to be launched by T-Mobile USA soon.
The Dell Streak 7 is a 7-inch Android tablet, the successor of the not-so-popular Dell Streak 5, and a device that’s expected to be unveiled at CES, or around that time in early 2011. There are no official details about the Dell Streak 7 so far, but we did see an ad concept for it, and the device has also been spotted with the FCC.
The Motorola Cliq 2 is the successor of the Motorola Cliq, which was the first Android handset made by Moto and the predecessor of the highly acclaimed Motorola Droid.
Both these devices are now said to be launched on January 19 in the USA and T-Mobile seems to be the designated carrier. Pricing details have not been leaked yet, but if this rumor turns out to be true then we can expect a proper press release to hit the proper channels at some point in the very near future.
While the Motorola Cliq 2 won’t be the kind of iPhone-killer you expect, the Dell Streak 7 might be a great iPad alternative. But aunching the Streak 7 in January will be a challenge both for Dell and T-Mobile considering that not only will CES 2011 bring us a lot of tablets, some probably worth buying soon, but, most importantly, the next-gen iPad will also be announced at some point in January. The iPad 2 will probably set the tablet tone for the year to come, and its imminent announcement could hurt other tablet sales, Dell Streak 7 included.
