Dell Kills Streak 7, Bails On Android Tablets

Posted by timothy on 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."

    Android is shit. Dell confirms it.

    I'm sure it had nothing to do with the almost complete lack of consumer interest in Android tablets.
