The Carphone Warehouse has revealed the price of the upcoming Dell Streak, which it has announced will cost the same as the low-end iPad.

The five-inch touch screen, Android-based tablet is set to launch this Friday solely on the O2 network. Carphone Warehouse will sell the device in its retail stores. Until now, the pricing has been a closely guarded secret.

Taken as a contract-free device, the Dell Streak will cost £429 – the same as the low-end iPad – or, with a contract, it will be £25 per month including data - a limit hasn't been confirmed as yet - or £35 per month for calls and unlimited data.

The Streak has a five megapixel camera, 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, five-inch capacitive multi-touch screen and it supports up to 32GB on a MicroSD card.

It is significantly smaller than the nine inch iPad, and, unlike the iPad, will be able to run Adobe Flash.

At the time of writing, O2 could not confirm if it would offer the same tariffs as the Carphone Warehouse.

Dell to release iPod competitor for 3x the price.

Great. An iPod Touch competitor - years late - and for the price of an iPad.

You can buy an iPod touch new for £140. This is three times as expensive

Replacement for the well loved Axim ?

So is this Dell finally admitting their uber-dumb move in junking their best of breed Windoes Mobile Axim product line 4 years ago ?

- Too expensive
- Why buy a Dell, when HTC are the new kings
- Apple's iPad has just wiped out their market
- 5" - very odd form factor - too big for a phone, too small for a 'pad'
- As a borderline bitter abandoned Dell Axim X50v owner, I would have no confidence in the long term health of the product line, from Dell's previous history in axing entire product lines

Perhaps it might find a niche in dell's business line up, as no-one in consumer will touch it - Apple iPhone, iPad or Android own the segment.

Why bother

I have a HTC touch HD2. This has a 4.2 inch screen and is about 10mm thick; this only just fits comfortably in my pocket. If I was going to get something different I would not purchase the “Streak” (another phone). I think Dell is way off the mark here. HP has as far as I am concerned got a much better idea and if it wasn’t for the cult followers of Apple who will buy Apple products because they are “Apple” I think the HP Tablet would be the product everyone would go for. It has all the Apple has and lots more including multitasking and USB!!!
