Dell's Streak tablet/phone will hit the U.S. on Friday, says AT&T, launching at $300 with contract or $550 without.
The multi-touch tablet/phone is expected to compete against Apple in both categories, although it only has a 5-inch screen so a direct comparison to the iPad is weak.
AT&T has the device going up for pre-order on Thursday.
The Streak was originally supposed to launch in July, after being unveiled at CES in January, but delays pushed it back to its current date. Between CES and release, Apple has released the iPad and iPhone 4 to record sales numbers.
Dell launched the tablet/phone in the UK in June, to mixed reviews.
Dell says the device will ship with Android 1.6, which is unfortunate, but an upgrade to 2.2 is promised by the end of the year.
