According to an article from AnimeNation, Viz Media has announced that they have acquired the rights to distribute Death Note in America. Interestingly enough, Viz has decided to make the series available for download only and no plans have been announced for a DVD release as of yet. No other information (i.e. price, format, release date) is currently available.

UPDATE: According to an article from ICv2, Viz's online release of Death Note will be subtitle only. Also, Viz has stated that there will be DVD releases of the series sometime after the subtitled episodes appear online. (Thanks, AnimeNation.)
The Death Note DVDs, which have not yet been scheduled, will be the English dubbed version; the download will be the subtitled version.
