With Apple having sold its one millionth iPad last month, Dell says it will roll out its 5-inch-screen rival tablet — The Streak — next month in England in in the U.S. later in the summer. It will run on Google‘s open-source Android operating system. School of Management Professor N. Venkat Venkatraman, chairman of the Information Systems Department, asks what Dell can do to differentiate and win, beyond a lower price point which depends on scale.
“More interesting question is, how will these Android-powered tablets perform against Apple iPad? That is the real battleground.”
