As far as Canadian cellular deals go this is pretty good.

Acorp EM501R Android tablet super-cheap alternative to Dell Streak

Ok, so its not a cellphone like the Dell, but if you're not interested in putting all your eggs in one basket then this could be an inexpensive entry into the MID/tablet/e-reader world. Its apparently only $88 USD if you buy 1,000 units so are likely to see it retail at around $100.

With a 600MHz Rockchip ARM9 CPU, 800 x 480 touchscreen, microSD, wifi and USB it can be a smart buy (espcially if they upgrade from Android 1.5 to 2.2)

Unlocked Dell Streak Tablet To Be Available Next Month For $500

Unlocked Dell Streak Tablet To Be Available Next Month For $500

I think Dell dropped the ball here price-wise. Even though its unlocked (and I can see this as perfectly fine without locking into a 2 year 3G plan and just using wi-fi) its priced too close to the bottom end iPads and thus exposed to the easy comparison to the low-end iPads.

After it was first announced there were a ton of complaints of the 5" Streak being too big for a cell phone. Now its 1/2 the size for the same price of the Apple tablet.

Poor marketing for an excellent device. I want to get one just so I can jab the screen with a ball-point pen.

This is pretty amazing. I've got two tiny scratches on my ebookwise-1150 and it drives me nuts when I notice them while reading. This gorilla glass is beyond awesome. Click through to Engadget to watch the video.

Dell Streak 5-inch Android tablet: only in UK for now

The Dell tablet will be marketed as "the ultimate portable tablet pc", but some see it as Dell's first crack at the smart-phone market. I can see this being a cool standalone e-reader and wi-fi web-browser so I hope it isn't packaged with an expensive 3G plan. It will be sold in the UK first, then the rest of Europe, then North America towards the end of the summer.
