Dell Streak 10 Pro,7 ans 5 is captured on film

Dell Streak 10 Pro is captured on film alongside with its siblings
Up until now, we’ve been unable to find an actual photo of the Dell Streak 10 Pro in the wild, but nevertheless, we’re finally presented with one that shows off its size compared to its siblings.

Yesterday, we reported that the forthcoming Android Honeycomb tablet is rumored to be launching in China as soon as this week, but its availability in other markets will solely depend on its success over in the Chinese market. Lucky for us all, we’re finally able to see the 10-inch tablet in the flesh as it’s posing for the camera alongside the Dell Streak 5 and 7 tablets.



Obviously, it looks like your conventional Honeycomb tablet, but interestingly enough, the photo shows the Dell Streak 7 running Honeycomb as well. Meaning, we might potentially see an update some time in the future that would upgrade the existing Froyo filled tablet and bring it up to a more modernized figure with Honeycomb on board.

Now that we have a clear idea of what the Dell Streak 10 Pro looks like, the only thing left to complete the puzzle is an official confirmation of its existence, pricing, and availability. Any takers on this one?

Acer Iconia Tab A100 coming in early August... ...

The Android Honeycomb packing Acer Iconia Tab A100 is finally getting ready to launch sometime in early August and rumored pricing is said be in the affordable $300 range. 

Acer has already seen moderate success with the larger Acer Iconia Tab A500. The Iconia Tab A100 was first thought to be hitting shelves in May, but there apparently with some issues with compatibility of Honeycomb on a 7-inch display.

 
The internals are similar to what you would find in the Iconia Tab A100’s bigger brother. It packs a dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 processor but only has


512MB of RAM whereas the A500 has 1GB. Other than that, two cameras can be found on this device. Around the back is a 5 megapixel shooter while a 2 megapixel camera is perched on the front.

If the rumored price of $300 ends up being true, the Acer Iconia Tab A100 will most certainly be a solid choice. We should see it hit shelves in the next couple of weeks so if you’re interested keep your eyes peeled. Tell us what you think in the comments below.
