Dell Kills Streak 7, Bails On Android Tablets

Posted by timothy on Tuesday December 6, 2011 @04:21AM from the why-it-seems-like-only-yesterday dept.

An anonymous reader writes with this news from Network World: "Dell has yanked the Dell Streak 7 tablet computer from its online stores, quietly acknowledging the failure of the Android device to catch on with consumers as the company redirects its tablet focus to combination work/play products. Word of the Streak 7's disappearance follows by a few months the death of the Streak 5, which debuted in summer 2010. The dual-core processor-powered Dell Streak 7 became available in January, marketed as a 4G wireless tablet via T-Mobile's network. Now Dell is directing would-be Streak buyers to Android and Windows Phone smartphones, and pushing a line of Windows Phone tablets for business."

You got that backwards; Dell is shit and all the other companies having Android devices flying off the shelves confirms it.
