Dell launches Streak 10 Pro Honeycomb tablet in China

Dell has launched its 10-inch Streak tablet in China, called the Streak 10 Pro. It is only expected to be launched in other international territories later this year, possibly along with the Windows-based Latitude ST. Dell has given the Streak 10 Pro a promotional price of 2,999 yuan, or roughly Rs. 21,000,

We last saw the device in a roadmap leak back in April, and the specifications of the Android 3.1 Honeycomb tablet (with Dell Stage UI) have remained much unchanged since then – it bears a dual core 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of inbuilt storage (expandable up to 32GB), a 5MP rear camera, a 2MP front camera, microUSB port, and a 10.1-inch 1280x800 pixel display.

Weighing in at 700 grams, the Dell Streak 10 Pro has a thickness of 12 millimetres. It has a 24.1WH battery, capable of delivering up to 12 hours. It also comes with a dock that features multiple USB ports (with USB host functionality), HDMI video out, and an Ethernet port. Dell has also put Dell Divide UI onboard, a workspace tool to separate work and personal sections

Google optimises its search page for tablets

Google, the search giant which is at large also popular for its multifarious apps and cloud services, is now focusing on improving its design, looking to adopt a unification by design trend that was kickstarted with Google+. And now the Internet company has announced it would be optimising Google search experience for tablets. The new and improved search experience will be soon rolled out to iPad and Android 3.1+ tablets across 36 languages.

The new and touch-friendly version of Google Search comes with some notable changes for the tablet form factor. One of the significant changes is the layout of the search results pages. The size of the page contents such as text, buttons and other tap friendly apps has been increased. They now are faster and easy to browse. The search result page can also be viewed in portrait and landscape mode as well.

The nav bar at the left hand side has been replaced with an array of touch-friendly apps at the top. Users can now easily shcuffle between the options such as results, video, images and other options. Google has also improved image search as now one can have enlarged image previews. Continuous scroll and speedy loading of image thumbnails also enhance the viewing experience
