The Dell Streak name may have already left its first set of track on the IT market, but it looks like the company is preparing a different tablet, albeit set to debut quite a bit later than the other.

Intel may have released its first Oak Trail Atom CPUs a bit too late for Dell to use it in the 10-inch Streak tablet but this doesn't mean the company doesn't have plans involving it.

The chip, which was released about two weeks ago, has now been revealed to be the platform of choice for the Latitude ST tablet, set to debut in October 2011.

This model is, like the Streak Pro (which uses the NVIDIA Tegra T25 processor), a product that has a screen size of 10 inches but seems to be, overall, more powerful.

One can notice this from the panel itself which, instead of the 1,280 x 800 pixel resolution, has HD support (1,366 x 768 pixels).

For those that need a reminder, the Oak Trail CPU (central processing unit) has a clock frequency of 1.5 GHz.

The tablet will have 2 GB of RAM (random access memory) and a solid state drive with internal storage of 128 GB.

The leaked roadmap summary also lists full 1,080p output, which means that the Latitude ST probably has an HDMI output.

Of course, knowing what connectivity and I/O options tablets have been sporting, one can also assume they will find Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, USB (2.0 or 3.0, or both sorts) ports, etc.

Among the extras that are specifically mentioned are two webcams, one of 3 megapixels on the back (for video and photo shooting) and one of 1.3 megapixels on the front (for video chats, etc.).

What's more, GPS exists, along with an accelerometer, for enjoying games that rely on that sort of control.

Finally, the touch panel has both finger and active pen support, while the battery can keep everything running for up to 8 hours. Windows 7 is the OS loaded onto it.
