The Dell Streak 7 is an Android tablet from Dell which comes with a smaller form factor than most recent tablets and runs Android Froyo (2.2). Running an OS not designed for tablets has its challenges and many of the Streak 7 owners would love to get a taste of Honeycomb on that device. An official upgrade will most likely never come but if you root your device you will be able to install a custom ROM like HoneyStreak which brings Honeycomb 3.2 to the Dell Streak 7.
