There is a stable user 2.2 ROM available for the Streak. For the moment I am happy with 2.1 and if I need flash I can use Skyfire (except for Hulu). The user ROM doesn't have any Dell customizations and 2.1 is very fast already, so I see no need to upgrade now. The official 2.2 should come next month. WiFi range and browsing speeds are quite amazing. Videos look good, music is fine through the headphones. Letters in ebooks are crisp. And the 5" size is still easily pocketable, 7" isn't. And while browsing on a 5" screen there already is so much less zooming and pushing around involved compared to 3.5", it is quite a relief. So my take is if you want one device that does everything quite well, then the 5" is the perfect size. If you want a serious tablet, though, 12" with a full OS seems more like it. The only thing I hate is the typing on touch screens, so for business use, I will definitely keep using my Touch Pro2.
