This is the first 4G capable tablet for both companies and has been designed for the super-fast mobile broadband speeds of T-Mobile’s 4G network.

The Streak 7 features Google’s Android 2.2 operating system, a dual core 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor and full support for Adobe Flash Player. It also comes equipped with a the rear-facing 5 megapixel camera for high-definition stills and video recording. The front-facing 1.3 megapixel camera with the preloaded Qik Video Chat application provide video-calling over T-Mobile’s network as well as Wi-Fi. The device is also Bluetooth 2.1 capable and comes with 16 GB of internal memory and SD Card slot with support for expandable memory up to 32 GB.
