Dell reconfirms Android 2.2 Froyo update for Streak

Dell’s Streak tablet device did not ship with Android 2.2 Froyo as many people anticipated originally, but that’s all right since the Texas-based company has just reconfirmed that an official update will be rolling out pretty soon. Of course, this doesn’t mean that current Dell Streak owners do not already have Android 2.2 running on it – those who know how to root it would definitely have more or less given Froyo a go by now. While there was no specific date given, chances are we wouldn’t need to wait until the end of December to have it roll out. At least this Gorilla Glass-equipped device will be able to keep up with the rest of the Android-powered smartphones in terms of firmware freshness…

Android: Android is the mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.

Dell: Dell Inc. is one of largest technology corporations in the world. Michael Dell started the company in 1984, and it sold computers built from stock components. Previously named PCs Limited, the company created the "Turbo PC," the company's first computer. In 1988, the company changed its name to Dell Computer Corporation. Dell sells personal computers, servers, data storage devices, network switches, software, and computer peripherals. Dell acquired computer hardware company Alienware in 2006, and Perot Systems, an information technology services provider, in 2009. Dell is also considered as the third largest PC vendors in the world, next to HP and Lenovo (as of 12/30/2013).
