Dell has announced that the “Streak 7 is no longer available.” The death of Dell’s Android tablet line doesn’t come as much of a surprise, but it points to some lessons that other tablets might learn from to be stronger competitors.

Dell has given it a valiant effort. It was the first major company to come out with a tablet to compete with Apple’s iPad, and it has developed—and subsequently pulled the plug on–both a 5-inch and 7-inch model of the Streak. It is sad to see Dell abandon the tablet market, but overall the death of the Dell Streak–or any single tablet other than the iPad–has little bearing on the tablet market.
