Though Internet Tablets in India are a bit costly yet they are perfect option for those who want to surf Internet most of the time from their laptops. Instead of buying a bulky laptop one can easily grab a Internet Tablet for around Rs 35,000. To jump into the bandwagon Dell has launched its Internet Tablet namely Dell Streak for a price tag of Rs 34,990.

As of now the Dell Streak seems to be running on Android 1.6 but Dell has confirmed that it will be upgrading the same to Android 2.2 by the end of this year itself. To add juice to the launch Dell announced that Tata DOCOMO users will get free data downloads if they buy Dell Streak loaded with Tata DOCOMO Internet.

Dell Streak is powered by Qualcomm’s overly hyped Snapdragon 8250 processor thus it could be considered fast! The five inches screen of Dell Streak is ideal for applications and gaming. The tablet comes loaded with Bluetooth, HSUPA and 3G thus making connectivity quiet easier.

In a recent post on its Direct2Dell blog, Dell reaffirmed to concerned customers that it wasn’t about to force small business users — who typically purchase PCs piecemeal, rather than in large enterprise-style orders — to shift to Vista, which has experienced a less-than-stellar reaction from many buyers because of driver issues and moderately beefy hardware requirements.

“Dell recognizes the needs of small business customers and understands that more time is needed to transition to a new operating system,” the post read in part. “The plan is to continue offering Windows XP on select Dimension and Inspiron systems until later this [northern] summer.”

“From a local perspective, the post was a reminder more than an announcement,” Dell ANZ corporate communications manager Paul McKeon told APC.

There’s general agreement amongst PC resellers that Vista has provided a minor boost to PC sales, but hasn’t produced blockbuster numbers. A similar story applies in the retail space. Figures from marketing consultancy GfK suggest that after an initial sales surge, around 1500 copies of Vista are now being sold through Australian retailers each week, according to a recent report in the AFR.

While Dell’s post suggested it wouldn’t be promoting Vista systems to the home market, manufacturers still have the option of selling RelXP-based systems for consumers this year.
