After first having been pegged for an April 29 release, then being subsequently delayed to May 13 and missing that deadline as well, the Dell Streak 7 is finally available in Canada, direct from Dell.

This is Dell’s first 7-inch tablet, and it’s running Android, as you would expect. However, maybe not as expected is the fact that the Dell Streak 7 runs Android 2.2 Froyo, and not Android Honeycomb.
Aside from the OS version, the only other major downside with the Streak 7 is its touchscreen’s resolution, which is just 800×480. That’s the same resolution that most high-end Android smartphones have nowdays, and those are devices with 4.3″ screens or less. As a result, the Streak 7′s display is anything but crisp – in a way it’s the exact opposite of Apple’s Retina Display: here, the pixel density is one of the smallest around, whereas in the iPhone 4 it’s one of the highest.

Still, if you can live with that, the Streak 7 is a capable little tablet. It has a 1 GHz dual-core Nvidia Tegra processor, a 5-megapixel rear camera with autofocus, LED flash, and 720p HD video recording, a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, 16 GB of internal storage expandable via microSD, Wi-Fi 802.11n, and a 2780 mAh battery.

For Canada, it looks as if the Dell Streak 7 tablet is now available for purchase at a price of $399.99 and ships within one day of ordering. The Dell Streak 7 tablet has of course a 7 inch display screen of 800 x 480 resolution and comes with a 5MP camera, a dual core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, a 1.3MP front facing camera, Android 2.2 Froyo, an OTA upgrade capability, WiFi, 16GB internal storage that can hold up to 32 GB.
