Dell's Streak tablet computer could be available in the US as soon as the end of this month, if a product page on the Dell website is to be believed.
The Streak, currently available in parts of Europe but not in the US, runs Google's Android operating system, has two 5 mega-pixel cameras (one on the front and one on the rear of the device), a 5-inch screen, 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, Wi-Fi, 3G and Bluetooth support and a Gorilla glass screen.
First spotted by Engadget, the updated product information page on the Dell website now lists the Streak's purchase date as "late July", with potential US customers now able to sign up to be one of the first to order the device in an exclusive 24-hour purchasing period.
Those who sign up to the pre-order program will -- aside from being among the first US residents to own a Dell Streak -- be given a free upgrade to 2nd Business Day shipping, as well as an exclusive coupon code to receive a 99¢ Plantronics Bluetooth Headset.
Dell has created a special application store for the Streak, which can also run most of the nearly 100,000 applications available on the standard Android Marketplace. Support for Adobe Flash 10.1 -- something Apple's competitor, the iPad, doesn't support -- is coming in the near future.
US pricing has not yet been disclosed, although in the UK the device is available for 25 pounds a month with a contract with O2 or contract-free for 429 pounds.
