Not that I care at all about what devices are approved by the pentagon but why the streak? More than likely because of its five incher lol. You wont catch me on 5 inch 2.2 dell phone. Im all over the razr :P

If they wanted a five-incher, the better choice would've obviously been the Galaxy Note.

Well, if you think about it, the Streak mirrors the government nicely: bulky, cumbersome, outdated, ineffectual, looks good in theory but sucks in execution, and the people in charge blame everyone else for the problems they create. (See: Michael Dell bashing Android).

Feel free to add your own Dell Streak/government parallels. :)

I an an android user and fan.. but being logical about the Pentagon, there is a very simple reason fit their choice. The open os can be use easily and create new apps odd their own design... even sold to the public I'd desired; rather than dealing with the red tape of Apple and complying with their demands. However this brings up two thoughts: 1) do you really want a device now deigned by corporations and programmed by the military? 2) if somehow a military grade application coats the lives of government officials, military movement or confidential documents, apple fans will claim superiority. That is, until apple falls victim and shown to be at fault for a similar case.

See people!!! I told you only the best OS will get iplement into battlefield not simple IOS. Android meant for geed.

Guess WHAT, Apple will win OS on the phone/table but want to become the market and get rid of all competitors at once too bad. For IFane boy/Apple ....... want to destroy(thermor nuclear war) Android, you are just OFFICIALLY pick a loosing battle.

This is all elementary, dear Watson. You see, the government tends to be a little particular when it comes to suppliers. This is particularly true in cases with data devices. To keep it short and sweet, they buy from companies that actually produce the equipment here in the U.S. Can you say security risk?

Why the hell would the Pentagon choose the Dell Streak? And it only have 2.2 Froyo. They should of chosen the Galaxy Tab or the XOOM. With all those million of dollars they have they could of at least gotten a HONEYCOMB tablet. not the crappy Dell Streak.
