Michael Dell teases new 7-inch Android tablet, says Streak to land in Best Buy next month (update: pic)

Oh Michael, such a teaser you are. Word has it that the head honcho of Dell Inc. has just pulled out yet another Android tablet from his pocket, only this time it’s a 7-inch whopper. Sadly, Mr. Dell left us high and dry with dates and specs (and the lack of photos from the event doesn’t help, either), but we’ll bet you that this is the long-rumored Looking Glass. On a more solid note, Dell also announced that the smaller Streak is heading to Best Buy next month. That’s great, except some of us would rather see the tabletphone getting its share of Froyo sooner — here’s hoping that this bigger tablet won’t disappoint us with an outdated OS.

Update: As it just so happens, Reuters snapped a pic of Mr. Dell himself holding the tablet on stage, and sure enough, it resembles that leaked Looking Glass even from quite a distance away.

Rydeen creates its own Android tablet

We have seen a lot of Android tablets come out in the last few days, from companies like Camangi and For You Digital. Clearly, someone wants to compete with the Galaxy Tab.

I have never heard of Rydeen Mobile, but it has created a 7-inch Android tablet that is essentially a “gPad” GCOM701. It has an 800 MHz ARMADA 166 SOC, 256MB of RAM, micro-SD storage slot, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, mini and non-mini USB ports, front facing camera, as well as 2400mAh battery for six hours of use.

I believe that this is slated for a November release.
