Dell Streak with Android 2.1 update exclusive preview: 720p video capture, better keyboard, and more
We have good news and bad news for fellow Streak-wielding comrades. The bad news is that Dell said tablet phone will not get Froyo update in September – and, in the UK at least. The good news is that O2 will squeeze in a 2.1 firmware for the void to fill at the beginning of next month, which probably means that the devices will also unlock the update a little earlier, if not at the same time. Now, Dell flash demo of the Streak’s Eclair build last week would have been a tad underwhelming, but as we found in the software only to us today, shows that there is actually more than just a new unlock screen and live wallpaper support . Read on to find out.
Update: Since you asked, here are some benchmark scores we got: 6949 MFLOPS on Linpack, in Quadrant 767, 30 fps at 3521 and at Fps2D An3DBench. Certainly a welcome improvement over Pocketables ’1, 6 scores.
Yes, Dell may seem Aero peek at the head-on, but Motorola’s Glam lends to much more sophisticated, the self-proclaimed world’s lightest Android phone. “Launched today, more than in South Korea, this 2.1-based Android mobile phone (which we played with earlier in the year when it was known as the XT800) boasts a 3.7-inch capacitive multitouch screen (854 x 480 ), dual LED flash, a 5 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, 3.5 mm headphone jack, a USB 2.0 connection, an HDMI connection, 1GB NAND Flash, 512 MB SDRAM, an 8GB microSD card, built-in GPS and support for a multitude of multimedia formats. Mum is the word on a price, but it should shuffle to SK Telecom – high heels and all – by the end of August.
