If you want 2.x from _Dell_ you'll have to wait. If you want 2.1 NOW then just go to any number of sites and download it. It's a great device even with 1.6 - just check out the reviews from the UK users.

The answer to the question of "Who is it for?" is: Business users who want convergence between tablet and phone. I'm hands free on Bluetooth most of the times now because, well, it leaves my hands free. So the Streak is not too large. It's pocketable. Really. Check out the reviews from people who use it daily.

"What problems does it solve?" See above in general and specifically GPS Navigation. Not only do I not have to carry separate phones and tablets, I don't have to have a separate large format GPS device. An iPad sized device could do GPS but would you mount it in your car? An iPhone sized phone can do GPS but the Streaks form factor is superior.

All that being said, I am waiting for 2.2 from Dell before buying because they have to prove they have the resources to be a major player. It's just a business decision.
