Today, Dell confirms existence of its 10-inch Honeycomb tablet, the Streak 10 Pro along with another Windows 7 tablet for enterprise customers later in the year, both of which we’ve seen leaked in roadmaps. Unfortunately, Dell’s priority for this particular Android tablet is in developing countries and it’ll debut over in China this summer over the US or even across Europe.
Why China? Dell has much greater market share over there, being number two in the market and they can get it out earlier because they don’t need to ship the tablet with the Google Experience (Google apps, Marketplace) over there. Dell will be evaluating other areas in this second half of 2011 that we’re in right now. A Dell VP tells CNET that they see China as having “more interesting” growth rates, faster adoption rates and “much more savvy” users and would rather not “swim upstream” in the US market at this time, referring to difficulties with launching a tablet through carriers in the US.
