Well, looks like the up and coming Dell Streak 7, or now the “Looking Glass”, is still responsible for multiple accounts of extreme and excessive salivation.  The tablet just passed through the hands of the FCC after being there for quite some time, and after spotting some Dell commercial spots, it shouldn’t be long before this baby is in the hands of the masses.  The Looking Glass is possibly headed to AT&T or T-Mobile land, now that it’s been approved for 3G data.  This info is based off of the device’s internal UMTS band specifications.  We’re still not sure if either carrier will have support for voice calls, but it seems like all of the necessary hardware is certainly there.  Hit the break for more info on the device and its internal specs, and get your drool on even more.

The tablet is also reported to have a few extras on board, such as the popular Blio ebook software, and Dell’s own “Stage UI” skin, as seen on the 5″ Streak.  It’s also unclear, at this time, what version of Android the tablet will ship with.  We’ve heard reports of the device shipping with 2.1, but we’re hoping at least for 2.2, and begging for Gingerbread 2.3!  Feel free to leave us a comment below, and let us know if you’ll be buying the 7″ monster when it arrives.

Specs:

  • 7″ 800 x 480 Capacitive Touch Screen
  • Bluetooth 2.1
  • EDR Support
  • 802.11n WiFi Radios
