Some Dell Streak 7 WiFi owners starting to receive 3.2 upgrade to Honeycomb

It appears that some Dell Streak 7 (WiFi) owners have received an update to Android 3.2 Honeycomb in advance of the rumored October 7^th release date.

As expected the update is said to factory wipe all data prior to the Honeycomb installation. The update appears to be rolling out slowly, I’m still waiting for the update for my tablet.

Early reports from users who have received the update on the Dell support forums have indicated problems with using the menu key on the home screen after the update. Others have indicated that the Dell 7-inch, 800×480 is inadequate for Honeycomb, explaining that the screen is too cramped.

We will report back once we receive the upgrade.

There is a lot to like about Dell’s 7-inch WiFi Android tablet. The Dell Streak 7 is a good performer: it packs an Nvidia Tegra 2 processor and 16 GB of Internal Storage with support for up 32GB of additional storage via its memory card slot. It also features 5MP rear camera with flash as well as a 1.3 MP front-facing camera for video chatting. The tablet also includes Wifi 802.11 b/g/n and supports Bluetooth 2.1. At $399, it is relatively inexpensive.

Dell Streak 7-inch 16GB WiFi Android Tablet $399 + $100 gift card

by George Heymann

I ran across this Logic Buy Deal which expires today for $299 (after factoring in the $100 gift card) thought it was a fantastic value, too good to pass up. I love the performance of the Nvidia Tegra platform. So I’m willing to roll the dice on the rumored Honeycomb update.

The Dell Streak 7 is powered by Nvidia Tegra T20 Dual Core processor (1GHz) and Android OS 2.2 Froyo and features WiFi, Bluetooth, 16GB storage, 1.3MP front and 5MP rear facing cameras, Adobe Flash 10.1 and more. (Look for our review soon)

Intel is working with Google to develop Honeycomb based tablets running on Atom based processors

Intel is working with Google to develop Android Honeycomb tablets running on Atom based Oak Trail chips, according to a PC World report . The first tablets are expected to be available in the second quarter.

Currently Android 3.0 is only available on ARM processors but Intel and Google have already worked together on a version of Android for TVs and set-top boxes that run on Atom processors.

Tablets based on Oak Trail chips will come in multiple screen sizes and configurations.

“Oak Trail chips won’t be outstanding on power consumption, but Intel will better compete with ARM as the chips become smaller and faster” according to Intel’s general manager Bill Kircos.

Here at Technology-Headlines we look forward to seeing just how power efficient these new Atom Oak Trail chips will be. After all with mobile, power efficiency is key.
