Dell has quietly pulled the Streak 5 tablet from its website and from any retail stores, as well.

And the Streak gets larger. Dell's original Streak was just 5" in size, which was quite small for a "tablet." But then again, it was one of only a few tablets that could double as a smartphone.

Some devices are still shipping with version 1.6, and carriers can't seem to sync up their Android 2.2 "Froyo" rollouts.
