Dell has just announced their Latitude ST tablet. It's a Windows 7 slate running on a 1.5GHz Intel Atom processor with 2GB of RAM. It will also have up to 128GB of SSD storage space, and promises 7 hours of battery life. The 10” screen is 16:10 with a resolution of 1280x800 (some sites report that it's 1366x768 but the chart at Notebook Italia shows 1280x800). You'll also get USB, SD, and HDMI for connecting to printers and projectors and such. It has an active digitizer with what looks to be an n-trig pen. While there is no price mentioned, Dell says you'll be able to “experience” the tablet starting on November 1st. Whatever that means.
So, how is this any better than the Fujitsu Q550? Two words – Pen Silo:

There is also an official video from Dell that just went live on YouTube recently:
Note that I'm making a lot of this up from the pictures and the chart at Notebook Italia, as the official press release is really slim on concrete details:
