Is it a tablet? Is it a smartphone? No, it's the Dell Streak

While it is possible to look at the iPad as being a big apple (with a small 'a') and the Galaxy Tab a small apple, comparing the Streak to the iPad really is more like apples and oranges. Indeed, the two are so different in every regard that to try and make any sensible comparison is all but impossible so I'm not going to bother. Indeed, I think the more important question that needs to be asked is less whether the Streak is an iPad killer and more whether it is a tablet at all. With an overall size of 6 x 3.1 x 0.4 inches the truth is that it feels just too small to be considered a tablet. In fact it's much more sensible to compare it to a smartphone, albeit one heck of a big one. And there lies the rub, if it's not really a smartphone and it's certainly not a tablet, then just what is it?
