The Dell Streak tablet-smatphone crossover goes on pre-sale today, tackling Apple’s iPad, iPod Touch, and iPhone devices in one go. The Streak, however, sends mixed messages regarding its size, price, and viability as a replacement to any of your Apple devices. So, can it make the cut?

The Streak arrives in the U.S. after several delays (it was available two months ago in Europe), and will cost $300 with a two-year AT&T contract, or $550 without. It has a 5-inch touchscreen, works as a phone as well, and comes with Google’s Android 1.6 mobile operating system. In a nutshell: too little, too late. Here’s why.

Most high-end smartphones now come at $200 with a two-year contract. That includes the Apple iPhone 4, the Motorola Droid X and upcoming Droid 2, or the BlackBerry Torch. The Streak, which serves as a smartphone as well, comes in at $300, its 5-inch screen is only 0.7-inch larger that of the Droid X, and the resolution is lower than iPhone 4′s 3.5-inch Retina display.

On the tablet front, the Streak doesn’t fare any better either. It’s $50 more expensive than the cheapest iPad, when bought unlocked as a tablet. Price difference aside, the streak’s screen is only half as large as the iPad’s. What the Streak has over the iPad is the 5-megapixel camera on the back, and a front-facing VGA camera.

When compared to the iPod Touch, the Dell Streak is $100 more expensive, if you want to use it as a multimedia device. Of course, the iPod touch lacks dual cameras and 3G capabilities. Darin Fireball’s John Gruber threw a bone speculating that Apple will release a dual-camera, Retina display-laden iPod Touch next month, making the Streak irrelevant if this proves to be true.

Software-wise, Dell’s Streak will come with a year-old version of Google Android OS, namely 1.6. The current version of Android is 2.2, and it already started to trickle down to several smartphones using the OS. Dell said it will offer an over-the-air upgrade to Android 2.2 “later this year,” but gave no specific date.

The Dell Streak’s screen size is too big for the device to be used as a smartphone (it would cover half of your face when talking), but yet too small in comparison to other tablets on the market.

The pricing of the Streak doesn’t help Dell either, as it’s more expensive than a phone, or a tablet as well. The software on the Streak is ancient in comparison to Android smartphones on sale now, and the AT&T-only contract could set off some of the users who want to avoid the iPhone-clogged network.

Is the Dell Streak something you would consider instead of a smartphone? Would it be an alternative for the iPad or other Android tablets? Do you think the Streak’s price is too high for either the smartphone or tablet categories? Sound off in the comments.

I have downloaded software from download.com to convert from format to format, whether its video or eBook formats.

Here is a great video that might help you with your Apple iPad.

How to Convert PDF to ePub Format and Transfer to iPad/iPhone

Ipad Tools and Apps

ePub – is an open ebook format that is used by many online stores. You can also convert other formats to ePub and then sync them to the iPad via iTunes.

PDF - (Portable Document Format) is the reigning downloading document format on the website, so you’re likely to find ebooks in this format. The iPad lets you load PDFs onto your iPad and read them via third-party apps.

iBooks – the books purchased through the iBooks Store are actually in ePub format, but include DRM to prevent unauthorized sharing or copying.

Kindle - Amazon’s Kindle isn’t just an ereader that competes with the iPad, it’s also an ebook format. Though you can’t read Kindle books through the iBooks apps, you can read them on the iPad using Amazon’s Kindle app.

Barnes & Noble – Just like with Amazon, Barnes & Noble has an app that lets you buy read books purchased from their online store on the iPad.

I hope you find these video iPad reviews useful and help you make a educated decision.

 Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was born 22 May 1859 and died 7 July 1930. He was a physician and writer best-known for his creation of Sherlock Holmes which is considered a key innovation in the field of crime fiction. Doyle’s writings have been translated into over 50 languages. He was a prolific writer whose stories have been made into plays, films, radio and television series and much more. By 1920 Doyle was one of the most highly paid writers in the world.

 Doyle was considered strange because he was into occultism and believed in fairies. He was knighted in 1902 for his work in Boer War propaganda and particularly the pamphlet The War in South Africa: Its Cause and Conduct. Doyle died clutching his chest and professed his love for his wife by saying, “You’re wonderful” and then he passed away.

 The following is a list of just some of his popular works:

 A Study in Scarlet (1887)

The Sign of Four (1890)

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1892)

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (1894)

The Hound of the Baskervilles (1902)

The Return of Sherlock Holmes (1905)

The Valley of Fear (1915)

His Last Bow (1917)

The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes (1927)
