T-Mobile Dell Mini 5 Tablet (Dell Streak) Release Pending this Summer?


we know that the Dell Mini 5 Tablet (possible to be know as the Dell Streak?) is headed to AT&T thanks to its initial FCC approval but now it seems that the 5” Dell Mini 5 Tablet is also set for release with T-Mobile, or so hints a new Dell Mini 5 FCC filing.
The new FCC filing concerning the 1GHz Snapdragon powered Dell Mini 5 (placed under product code M01M) offers an insight as to it potentially being headed to T-Mobile this summer thanks to the new filing detailing WCDMA Band IV frequency compatibility (as utilised by said network) – so it look as though, if you want to get your hands on the Mini 5 you’re going to have options with respect to network service providers.
For those unfamiliar with the Android based, Flash compatible, Dell Mini 5, the device, as mentioned above, sports a 5” multi-touch touting 800 x 480 (WVGA) resolution 16:9 aspect ratio display and will be voice capable or, in Dell’s language, will ‘double as a smartphone’. And, whilst Dell (or, specifically the head of Dell’s tablet program, Mr. Neeraj Choubey) initially made no bones about the fact that he saw the Mini 5 as directly competing against the iPad Dell have, since the launch of the iPad, markedly changed their tune following having made it perfectly clear that the iPad was not what they were expecting (or, rather, basically saying that the iPad is somewhat of a disappointment). But I digress…
Additional highlights also include a rear mounted 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash as well as a front-facing VGA camera, allowing for video conferencing, integrated Bluetooth and WiFi wireless connectivity and, yes, the Dell Mini 5 will also offer an Amazon Kindle book reader application with Amazon MP3 and video streams also being supported.
As noted above, the Dell Mini 5 Tablet is set to drop sometime this summer.
