Whatcha's think? The Dell Streak has a crappy screen resolution (800x480) and only has 512MB RAM but it has dual core 1GHz Tegra, already has Honeycomb ported to it (NOT an SDK port but a real ROM port), and is getting official Honeycomb released to it in the coming months. I can prolly sell my Nook for ~$175 and buy a Streak for $225.

So whatcha's think? Is this worth a $50 upgrade?

Here's my breakdown from what I can tell:

Pros:
+ Dual-core CPU
+ Real ported Honeycomb available now
+ Official Honeycomb released soon
+ Cameras, mic, buttons
+ Responsive touchscreen

Equals:
= Size
= 512MB RAM
= Rooted with custom ROMs

Cons:
- Lower resolution (not that the Nook's resolution is amazing)
- Crappy battery life (Nook is great in this department)
- Less active hacking community but it's not non-existent

I think I would stay with the nook. I love my nook and the dev community is great. I think that we will get a fully functioning Honeycomb soon. Patients is key.

Never. Google has said it will never release the code.

Never. Google has said it will never release the code.

I thought they said they would release it after ICS code was released.

They're gonna release ics's source.. not honeycomb's source.. which sucks..

Why? So one of the great devs will port ICS. That would work for me.

HC source is released, but it will probably be skipped over for ICS...
