According to the latest update, Dell will stop concentrating on rolling out Android 2.1 eclair on its 5″ Dell Streak but instead focuses on rolling out Froyo directly.
It seems that it takes more effort to update 2.1 and it makes more sense to go straight to the latest Froyo directly. Dell is said to be committed to deliver their Froyo update before 2010 is out. Let’s hope they stick to their word and not becoming another Sony Ericsson which is still stuck with good old 1.6 Donut.
If Dell is going to release the 5″ Tablet in Malaysia, it better come with Froyo considering Samsung will debut its 7″ Galaxy Tab with Froyo running already.

It comes down to price too. The Samsung Galaxy Tab will cost over rm3000 which will put it firmly in the business sector.
If the Dell wants to really compete, then it has to sell for no more than rm2500 due to the smaller sized screen. At 5", it's just 0.7" larger than a high end 4.3" smartphone which sells for around rm2300.
