Hello,
I have the chance to buy a Dell Streak 7" Wi Fi but it comes with Android 2.2. From Dell site I can see that Honeycomb is available to Streak WiFi, so I can upgrade the software to Honeycomb? It is easy or hard to install the update?Sorry, guys, I don´t have experience with Android, only Linux and Windows ! :D

Well it is kind of simple actually, just click on "Update" you will find on downloads, then reboot it, then select "install from update.pkg" after pressing Volume+ and Power and then it is done. I hope you will not find any problem.
