Dell Streak – probably too little too late

I really wanted to like the Dell Streak – 5″ of Android/Wi-fi/HSDPA/HSUPA/Gorilla Glass, but WTF, Dell?  So it’s still not out and when it does ship, it’ll ship with Android 1.6 (though they say a Froyo OTA will be out “later this year”) and for $299 on AT&T?  So this is going for more than an iPhone4 or a Samsung Galaxy S (on contract)?  Not to mention it has to sit on AT&T’s network… It’s a shame because I think this really could have been a slick little device, but with Evo 4Gs/iPhone4s/GalaxySs all out with ~4″ screens, is there room for a 5″ brother?  I’m thinking that might be a bit too close and people will want something at least 7″ (Cisco Cius?) or 10″ (iPad) to fill the gap to their desktop/laptop.   I definitely could still use one (as a gadget hoarder [whore?]), but wouldn’t go out of my way.  The lack of T-mobile support ain’t helping either.  Best of luck, though… I think they really could have had something a few months ago…
