Dell is to launch a 10in Android Honeycomb tablet this summer, as the firm looks to have another crack at the tablet market.

The Dell Streak Pro is yet to be officially announced, but widespread reports suggest that it is imminent and will come with some meaty specifications, including a 1GHz dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor and a 1,280x800 resolution display.

The tablet will come with 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of internal storage and connectivity in the form of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Reports suggest that Dell will start shipping the device in June.

V3.co.uk contacted Dell to confirm specifications, pricing and availability, but the firm had not responded at the time of writing.

It will be interesting to see how well a 10in tablet from Dell does in an increasingly competitive market. The firm had moderate success when it launched one of the first hybrid smartphone/tablets in the form of the Dell Streak. But its successor, the Dell Streak 7 has failed to set the world alight since its launch last month.

With high-profile firms such as Samsung and LG set to launch devices, and even Amazon tipped to release a ‘Super Kindle' Android tablet, Dell is likely to have its work cut out.
