Dell Streak Android handset surfaces

Details of Dell's Streak touchscreen Mobile Internet Device (MID) have popped up online, revealing that it will run the Android 2.0 operating system.

We still haven't seen the Dell's first Android based phone on our shores but that hasn't stopped the second cropping-up over at SlashGear.com.

Form-wise the Streak has taken the expansive touchscreen route, boasting a 5-inch WVGA, that sits above three hardware buttons on the bottom of the handset.

Aside of the generous display, rumoured specs for the Streak include the usual suspects; 5-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G connectivity and microSD card support are all said to feature.

Whilst it's officially the second Android-toting phone from Dell, we're yet to see the Mini 3i launch outside of China, it has been confirmed however that the handset will be making its way to the US at the start of 2010, but not necessarily with the Android OS.

Quite what that means release-wise for the Streak is hard to say, but we weren't too impressed by the Mini 3i's lack of connectivity options, so the sooner we get some serious Dell Android hardware to play with, the better.
