The Dell Streak (Mini 5) gets torn down

DellStreakThe tiny tablet that Dell showed off but wouldn’t commit to at CES has fallen into the hands of a hacker. Not a software hacker, but one of the hardware variety who takes the little guy apart piece by piece. Seems a tad ironic given that it was a look-no-touch showing in Vegas, but this guy in Vietnam somehow got a complete literal breakdown.

Anyway, the model obtained by Tinhte.com sports a SIM card slot, Snapdragon 1GHz processor, and two microSD card slots, one internal and one user-accessible. Interesting as it is to see the insides of something, I have to wonder why they didn’t post any video of the device in action first. That’s a bit more relevant to users I think.

YouTube video (in Vietnamese) after the jump. Hat tip to Slashgear.
