“I get that Apple’s iPad is hotter than hot with over
three million sold so far, but to say “Apple has won the battle for
tablet computing already” is really overreaching. I mean, come on:
the Android Linux-based tablets — or if you insist, the iPad
killers — weren’t even supposed to start showing up until
mid-summer.

“Guess what? They’re finally starting to show up. The Dell
Streak, a cross between a smartphone and a tablet, will be out
later this summer. It will first show up with Android 1.6 under the
hood, but it will be user upgradeable to the latest release Android
2.2, Froyo.”
