Keep in mind that Latitude ST that Dell gave us a sneak peek at earlier within the week? Well it’s slowing inching its way towards an official release, appearing on Dell’s Corporate Blog early this morning. The Windows 7-based enterprise tablet is powered by an Intel Atom processor and incorporates a 10-inch multi-touch display with stylus, WiFi, mobile broadband options, front and rear webcams and a mic. There also are durability features like Gorilla Glass and a rubber bumper, enabling it to outlive violent impacts with plush office carpeting. Port details are rather vague within the PR, though USB, HDMI and an SD card reader get their 15 seconds of fame inside the promo video. There also are safety features, like remote harddisk wipe, Microsoft Bitlocker support (this can be a Windows 7 tablet, in spite of everything) and a Kensington Lock slot. Pricing details are absent and the product page isn’t live quite yet (though that did not stop Dell from linking to it from the blog post), however it seems like lets see these ship once November 1st. Able to get your tap and sketch on? Jump past the break for an enterprise montage, complete with doctors, educators and suit-sporting business pros.
