Engadget has released some details on the first tablet from Dell, named the Latitude XT. It is shaping up to be pretty decent, though I worry that something like a tablet will need more durability than Dell is known for.

• Single or dual-core Intel ULV CPUs (with integrated graphics)
• LED-backlit WXGA 1280 x 800 display option
• Outdoor viewing WXGA 1280 x 800 display option
• Pen and touch support (digitizer and touchscreen)
• (3) USB 2.0 ports, Ethernet (duh), 1394, VGA out
• WiFi options up to 802.11n, optional Bluetooth
• Optional 3G (HSDPA, EV-DO Rev. A)
• ExpressCard slot, optional Smart Card slot, fingerprint reader

So far they haven’t given an exact release date, but reports are that it will be ready for the third quarter of this year. Hopefully, it doesn’t get pushed back.

Note: Many of us here at Forever Geek are hoping to see Apple come out with a tablet.
