\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just this morning on the podcast<\/a>, we were wondering where all the smartbooks are, but the question could easily apply to consumer tablets too. Microsoft and HP jointly announced a slate at the Consumer Electronics Show<\/a>, but the product isn’t available yet. Add Dell to the list with a pair of Streak tablets found by Engadget<\/a>. We probably won’t see them for months either, but it looks like these devices will run on Google Android, along with a custom Dell interface like Dell’s Aero phone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Aside from the sizes of 7″ and 10″, there isn’t much else to know at the moment. Unlike Apple’s iPad, both tablets look to have a widescreen aspect ratio — that sounds good for video, but I’m wondering how the narrow width will handle a web site in portrait mode. Given the solid Android browser, it’s probably not a concern, but I prefer not to zoom when possible. My other hope is that these slates aren’t hobbled by restrictions on the Android Market and other Google services — I’ve pointed that out before by saying that Google is missing an opportunity in this market<\/a>. Hopefully, that’s a non-issue and these tablets streak to market soon.<\/p>\n
