US Update: Dell’s 10-inch tablet, first Honeycomb smartphone, Asus iPad 2 competitorTwo days into the week and our inbox is lighting up like a Christmas tree with breaking tech news. In today’s US Update we take a look at Dell’s new 10-inch Windows 7 tablet, the Motorola Bee concept phone, LTE forecasts for 2014 and more.

At the Dell Means Business event in San Francisco this morning, Dell unveiled a 10-inch Windows 7 tablet and 38 other new products. Talk about a tech bonanza, read on for the full scoop.

The Motorola Bee concept phone looks to be the world’s first Honeycomb smartphone. With all the talk about Honeycomb tablets, it’s nice to see some focus back on Honeycomb smartphones. The only question is whether Motorola and Google will take notice.

New data from IHS iSuppli research suggests that LTE worldwide subscribers will reach over 300 million by 2014, nearly nine times the 33 million WiMax subscribers forecast. iOS users, it’s time to head to iTunes and download your free copy of Google Translate. The new native app offers speech translation of 15 languages and over 50 written languages.

Last up this fine morning is news on a “secret weapon” coming from Asus which the company believes will battle the iPad 2. What could Asus possibly have up its sleeve that we didn’t see at CES?

That wraps things up from my side of the pond. As always I’m Nick Marshall and this was your daily dose of tech. Until tomorrow, over and out.
