LEAK: Dell's Mini 5 MID Specs Confirmed

But there's still no word on launch or pricing.

Unveiled at CES, we've heard little about the Dell Mini 5. Known internally as the Streak, rumors had the device packing a 5-inch WVGA 800 x 480 touchscreen, 3G, Bluetooth, a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, a microSD slot and a 1,300mAh battery.

This week, a leaked flier has confirmed all those reports from last year. Available in a wide array of different colors, the flier doesn't reveal much that we didn't know already when it comes to specs. However, internal documents leaked to Engadget tell us the Mini 5/Streak will have Amazon content (via the Amazon store), Kindle applications, Amazon MP3s and Amazon video streams.

Check out the three videos of the Mini 5 below. The first one is Michael Dell being hounded by TechCrunch and the second is a video tour posted to YouTube last year. The last one is a teardown of the device.

    This device seems to be too small to be much a a great e-reader, too big to be phone/mobile device, not set up as a portable gaming device - I'm just trying to figure out how successful it will be

    It could be interesting...I'm just not totally sure where it fits.

    It's the bastard child of electronics, no one wants it because they don't need it (although if you gave it to me, I wouldn't throw it away).

    OMG! I couldn't figure out the fingers on the guy with the freakish hand on 2nd video. I guess I can't buy one, I dont have enough fingers to operate it...

    I'd buy one of these. I've been debating buying an Archos Android tablet but I do like dell's design aesthetic. I guess I'll make my choice when this is released and I can compare side by side
