Dell announces Latitude XT tablet PC

Dell has released their long awaited tablet PC, the Latitude XT is officially available for sale with shipping to begin before the years end. Retailing for $2,500 it may not be the cheapest tablet around but it certainly does have great specs including weighing in at less than 4 pounds. The Latitude XT features:

• Core 2 Solo 1.06GHz ULV processor or Core 2 Duo 1.2GHz ULV processor
• Support for up to 3GB DDR2 SDRAM
• 12.1-inch WXGA (1280×800) display with option of LED-backlit or Outdoor viewing
• Touchscreen and digitizer pen input
• ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 integrated graphics
• Hard Drive options to include: 1.8-inch 4200 rpm 40GB or 80GB, 1.8-inch 5400 rpm 120GB or 32GB and 64GB SSD
• Wireless support for 802.11a/g/n
• Mobile Broadband with EVDO Rev A service available through Verizon or Sprint
• SD card slot
• 54mm Express Card
• Optional docking station available

Shipping with a standard battery that offers up to 5 hours of power and an option for an extended battery that gives up to 9.5 hours this should make a great tablet for just about any mobile professional. Its just a shame its well into the $2,000 price range, given a few upgrades you could easily hit the $3,000 mark.
