Dell will not offer an official update to the Android 3.2 Honeycomb operating system for the Streak 7 tablet PCs available for purchase in the United States via wireless carrier T-Mobile, the company has just confirmed.

Apparently, the company plans on leaving the T-Mobile-branded devices with the Froyo OS flavor on board, although they will be delivering the Honeycomb platform to tablets on other areas of the world.

All unlocked Streak 7 units, as well as WiFi-only devices, will taste the software update, but T-Mobile's units will not be as lucky, it seems.

Dell will not be offering the update for customers locked to T-Mobile in the U.S. With each software update, the requirements for offering the update vary by carrier, region and device, and Dell has decided to not offer this update to T-Mobile customers in the United States,” the company reportedly announced.
