More Dell news today: the release date for Dell's foray into tablet PCs is making its way around the Internet.

The Latitude XT will be available Tuesday, Engadget reported today. Dell first announced that it would build the convertible notebook PC in May, and last month teased audiences with it at the Oracle OpenWorld conference.

More details will be available about the product specifications next week.
