Dell’s Looking Glass Android Tablet

As previously mentioned, it’s been a big day of new hardware leakage for Dell. We’ve covered their new phones, which look quite sexy we have to say. One of the other big highlights is the Dell Looking Glass, an Nvidia Tegra 2 powered Android tablet PC.

It’s not too different from the previously shown Dell Streak, their 5″ Android tablet, although the Looking Glass is of course bigger and powered by a much beefier Tegra 2 chip (as opposed to the Streak’s Snapdragon CPU).

The Looking Glass is essentially billed as a portable media player and web browser, with a built-in 3G connection (so yes, it is technically a phone too). Having the 3G connection means Dell can sell the device with the Android Market enabled – being a phone is one of Google’s stipulations for using the market. It also makes it a viable, cheaper alternative to the iPad (it runs Flash for starters).

The spec list is quite healthy. There’s that Nvidia Tegra 2 CPU, the 7 inch 800×600 screen, 4GB RAM, 4GB flash storage + SD slot, a 1.3 megapixel camera, GPS, WiFi and of course 3G. All packed into a system a bit smaller than an iPad, and lighter at just 500g. It’s due for release this November, and if the price is right it could be good.
