Dell Streak is a 5-inch Android 2.0 MID, packs 3G and WiFi (video)

Well, hello there! Those Dell MID rumors we’ve been hearing have finally received vindication in the form of a nice, picture-heavy leak courtesy of some industrious folks in Vietnam. What we know as of now is that there’s an 800 x 480 capacitive touchscreen display (with multitouch zooming), WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G WWAN connectivity, all riding atop an Android 2.0 (aka, Donut Eclair) install. A dual-LED flash 5 megapixel camera adorns the back, and there’s a 1,300mAh battery to power all that goodness. See pics below and a video awaits after the break, where an old friend of ours plays with the jumbo smartphone.

Giant Eclair Delivered to Google; Android 2.0 Imminent? [Android]

In the past, the delivery of a giant dessert item (cupcake or donut) to Google’s lawn meant a new version of Android was incoming. Today, a giant eclair was delivered: We deduce that Android 2.0 should see release shortly.

This is all unconfirmed, of course: A giant pastry is not what we professionals would call incontrovertible evidence. But when a huge donut was dropped on Google’s front lawn in September, Android 1.6 was released to developers within a few days. Rumor has it that Motorola’s Sholes, due out for this holiday season, would be the first Android 2.0 phone, which would be in line with, well, this enormous eclair. Check out a video of its delivery below. [TechCrunch]
