The 1st half of 2011 is shaping up to be all about tablets. Really, the tablet mania that everybody is adamant about past year is finally here. Even though dozens of tablets had been announced and shown off at CES in January, many of them would not be arriving till this month or even till the March.

The major reason for the postponement is simply because most manufacturers are stuck awaiting Google to launch Android 3.0, or Honeycomb, the first edition of Android to be configured specially for use on tablets. Motorola has got the nobility of liberating the first Honeycomb gadget, the Xoom.

The tablets which are declared in 2011's CES, the first to be unconfined is Dell's new Streak 7 and it is driven by NVIDIA's powerful Tegra 2 low power, incorporated SoC.

Component of Dell's Streak series, the Streak 7 could thump the tablet pc seen at CES to promote, simply because Dell has decided to release it with Android 2.2, also recognized as Froyo. Regardless, Honeycomb or not, the Streak 7 is here now and it is a glossy 7 inch slab of tablet decency with an imposing résumé.
