The folks over at TmoNews got themselves another juicy tidbit about Dell’s upcoming 7″ Android tablet. The Dell Streak 7, T-Mobile’s first 4G tablet should be dropping on February 2 if everything goes according to plan. The Dell Streak 7 runs Android 2.2 on a dual-core Tegra 2 processor, with a 7″ touchscreen, it packs a rear camera, a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera, comes with 32GB of internal storage, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. No pricing has been announced, but since the release date isn’t too far off, we’ll find out soon. Is a Tegra 2 processor and 4G enough to make you want the device or are you holding out for a Honeycomb tablet instead?

Update: T-Mobile’s CEO Philipp Humm has just confirmed that the Streak 7 will be arriving on T-Mobile in the first half of 2011 – so that would mean the February 2nd date being a very high possibility.

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).

HSPA+: is also known as Evolved High-Speed Packet Access. It is a mobile broadband protocol that was defined by the 3GPP standard, release 7. In Theory, the HSPA+ data rate can go up to 84 Mbps (Megabits per second) downstream (to the mobile), and 22Mbps upstream (back to the tower). These numbers are achieved by using multiple streams, so they should be considered theoretical and peak performance numbers. The HSPA+ specifications support up to 168Mbps of theoretical peak rate. Although many HSPA+ carriers call it 4G, it is very different from 4G LTE.
