Dell's New "Streak"

http://www.cio.com/article/615965/Dell_Aims_Streak_At_Enterprises?page=1&taxonomyId=3061

In this article, Dell claims to be trying to extend the appeal of its "Streak" handheld to businesses and add a new dimension to its enterprise hardware, software and service offerings. Dell states that they want to offer small handheld devices that can easily interoperate with PCs and servers in IT environments. So what exactly is this "Streak" device? Basically, it has a 5-inch screen and runs on the Android OS and Dell thinks that this device could be attractive to commercial customers because of its usability, interactivity and remote-access capabilities.

I personally think it is cool that Dell is trying to market a new product geared towards IT use, but my question to them is don't we have enough already? I mean what will make users who have iPhones and BlackBerrys want to carry an additional device which they probably won't need or use that much. Does this "Streak" have what it takes to compete with other similar devices?
