4G was right in front of my face the entire time. Thanks for letting me know!

Blah. What an embarrassing mistake. Thanks! ^_^

What does Dell's shying away from the consumer PC market mean for Streaks?
If I were to tell you that Dell is switching its focus from the consumer PC market to the IT market, what would you say? Would you be disappointed? How about indifferent? Regardless of how you feel, that's what Dell is planning to do. Today, the president of Dell's enterprise unit, Brad Anders...
Thanks.

Dell releases official Gingerbread ROM for Streak 5
Even though the Dell Streak 5 is no longer being sold here in the States, Dell still cares about its first entrance into the modern smartphone market and is showing it today by releasing the official Gingerbread ROM for the Streak 5. To update, simply guide yourself over to the link provided ...
I'll be writing up posts on the site. And with that statement I just meant that usually, as far as devices go, the more people who have them brings awesome apps and support. Not having the option to increase the user base is probably going to have a negative impact on the people who already have one.

Dell Streak 7 is discontinued
Well, darn! Usually Fridays are great for everyone, but it looks like me and the rest of the StreakSmart crew are going to have a dreaded weekend, as the Dell Streak 7 was quietly discontinued. This comes not even four months after the Streak 5 was discontinued, as well. The Streak 7 started i...
Thats because the Streak 10 Pro uses a 40-pin connector, not the 30-pin like the Streak 5 and 7, which is why they made this.

Dell Streak 10 Pro now has HDMI and USB-host ports, thanks to Dell accessory
Last week, we reviewed the Dell Streak 10 Pro. We found it to be overpriced for what it was, since it's currently only available in China, and there wasn't even HDMI or USB-host ports to be found on its aluminum body. Thankfully, though, accessories are available for pretty much anything a us...
I don't have an iPad, nor do I want one. In fact, not being able to charge on some USB ports is one of the many reasons I don't want one. (I also don't do much work on iOS; my iPhone is fantastic on the go, but iOS on a tablet just isn't for me.)

USB charging works on Dell Streak 7, thanks to Honeycomb
One of the things that bugged the heck out of me with my Dell Streak 7 was the fact that, while I had the device plugged into my Mac, I couldn't charge it. It was the biggest downfall of the Streak 7 in my opinion, and it made me really upset. That was a few months ago, though, when I origina...
Fixed. :-)

Dell releases EU Dell Streak 7 WiFi Honeycomb update
Well, here we go again (sort of). Just a few days ago, we brought you the news that Dell had finally released Honeycomb for the EU model of the Dell Streak 7. More specifically, the update was for the European 3G model; this time around, it's the European WiFi model that's getting treated to A...
No problem. Thanks a bunch! :-)

My name is Calob. :) But actually, Windows 7 is very light. I'm actually running Professional on my MacBook Pro more than I run OS X Lion or Ubuntu. I'm very unbiased but Windows 7 is really good, and Windows 8 promises to be even better.

In case you didn't know, Microsoft today unveiled some more information about its next iteration of Windows, aptly named Windows 8. Among many other tablet-focused features, 8 touts the ability to be run on ARM processors . . . much like the Tegra 2 found in your Dell Streak 7. Windows 8 is a...
Exactly how I feel. I hope some developer release will be compatible with ARM processors. :)

I prefer Note Everything because of the organization it offers, and the ability to write instead of type. Plus, you don't have to waste time to set up an account; you can start noting right away.

Note Everything does just that on your Dell Streak 7, if you like note-taking
When I am not wasting time and gaming on my Dell Streak 7, I do actually enjoy using it to be productive. Part of my productivity involves note-taking, and I've used many, many note-taking apps on many, many different devices. But none of them have been particularly useful on any of my devices...
Awesome! Thanks for the game recommendations. I'm pretty excited for Honeycomb, but at the same time, the App Market for Honeycomb, I've heard, isn't as big. I will have to decide if I want to upgrade right away or not.
