This is the best thing AT&T has come out with in some time. It compares right up their with Mac innovations. What I would like to see more of on Youtube for prospective buyers is the use of citrus through the Atrix 4G with the dual core processor. I am able to hook right up to my Mac at home and use Business Office 2011, access my time capsule, Mac TV, anything you can do with a laptop accessing your computer with Citrus or for Windows Users PC ANYWHERE. It is truly outstanding. Print too!
hellooooo moto! instead of a lapdock, how about a tablet-dock. btw try to make the price cheaper than a $450 laptop that I can get from wal-mart. Whatever happened to common sense...
meh, maybe if lapdock wasnt nearly $500 might look into this more..nah, fuck that....I DONT WANT A LAPTOP/NETBOOK!!! thats why i have tablet...get bluetooth and now use ipad as phone...its smaller than carrying around a briefcase, planner, portfolio...
Now that this tech is created, it cant be un-created.
The laptop dock for this will be expensive, but i reckon 6 to 8 months after its release, u'd get other companies making similar docks for compatible phones and they'll be way cheaper
I really like this idea. The problem i have with the iphone and ipad is one doesnt replace the other. Im not going to carry an ipad around if i want to listen to music and the iphone doesnt have the battery life to sustain playing a movie and calling and texting all day. This basically puts the two together. Great idea.
I'm not impressed I rather buy the iPad 2 or a actual comp......phone wise...even tho it's a dual core...its not very smooth, battery prob sucks...iPhone is already better
I'm hoping in few years to carry in my pocket 16-core smartphone, with full grown, user-customisable OS, with powerful applications, with ability to dock it to a laptop-dock and to use it as a touchpad, or to monitor-dock with mouse and keyboard, that will allow to sip more anergy for using all 16 cores. Smartphone that will be able to replace my MacBookPro.
How come the laptop dock will be 500$ it's just a god damn battery and a screen o was expecting it to be 100 and the HD multimedia dock with bluetooth mouse an Bluetooth keyboard will be 190 WTF Motorola we are spending 200 on the phone don't make us poor because of the docks!!!!
@codymannthedestroyer The phone is essentially free if you bundle the phone and laptop. Both together are $500 if you do it this way. If you get them separately, it's $700 for the pair.
@marvintaipei Actually showing that from the beginning does the job. It shows how much support and design's been put into it. That's when you get excited about it.
Santa Maria Madre de Jesus!! Motorola esta volviendose loca ahora...Si Dios me permite me compro este modelo..aunque Htc esta de madre tambien, lo que no me gusta es eso del Motoblur...no me cuadra pero ahi Vamos! :)
@orlanjoyful ya pero HTC ya, esque es muy repetitivo lo que hace, lo mismo que samsung, sacan un movil verdaderamente bueno cada 3 meses, y lo unico que a mi por lo menos me gusta de HTC es sense, y llasta
@Moshenokoji i dont see how you lasted this long on it. the atrix sounds like a perfect alternative. steve jobs has brainwashed many people into believing what they want you to believe.
@devilsephiroth9000 I actually really like my iPhone. The hardware is great. It was extremely handy during my trip to Europe. If anything, I'm just getting bored of it and want something new to play with.
@devilsephiroth9000 Not sure I follow on what you mean. I've done whatever I want with it. My only gripe is iTunes, terrible software, I greatly dislike it. So, no reason to be snide. Aside from all that, Motorola isn't much better at times. Last time I checked, they get angry if your root your Droid and update the firmware without their blessing.
@stylezNsmilez Possibly. But, considering the functionality of the phone, you're not going to want to root it and update to a stock 2.3 firmware. It would probably not work with the dock or netbook attachment after that.
@Moshenokoji they can be angry, law states otherwise, you can modify your mobile device, in fact google was court ordered to release the codes for some devices, i doubt they're that angry, only htc blocked one phone for root, besides doesnt every other iphone jail break their phone? except when we do it, we get amazing results, ios gets "widgets" and port android os over. i despise apple and their IOS for misleading the public, thats where my "snide" comes from
@devilsephiroth9000 You don't like the iPhone, I get it. I blatantly don't care what you think. I like the Atrix, I do believe I'll be buying one in June.
@MRXDS1989 the boot up is called citrix or citrux? there is no mention of this on the bionic, but it has your standard hdmi out like the droid x and the un named samsung 4g lte phone.
@kfki its optional, but if you were an entrepreneur maybe the laptop dock might be useful, and if you're in the media business the standard dock might help too. i believe these accessories don't cater to everyone, but its sure nice to have options. i have a droid x with 4 batteries, battery charger, and 2 usb cables for about 13 bucks on accessories. thank hong kong and ebay.
Its been a long time that I have been excited by a new phone... may not suit everyone but perfect for me... also glad to see motorola getting back to form I genuinely like them as a comms tech company.. as for only on ATT that will only be for a time... but yes the option does suck
@Leong428 it seems unecessary, but what if you juggle 4 computers between multiple homes and offices? all those desktop/laptop files, settings, bookmarks, applications ect. are in your pocket all of the time. this seems crazy now, but it could be an industry standard in due time
@Dustin52456 True as that may be, i think that's where cloud computing comes in. Realistically, for next year these smartphones would not be able to run heavy applications like MatLab, photoshop etc.
The tasks they would be able to perform on a "netbook" would be limited to tasks you could well complete on the device (smartphone) itself!
Especially with bigger screens and tablets coming along, it really makes one question the point of the docking feature.
It is very impressive, and be sure it will attract attention from corporate clients, and anybody on the go. I wander the story behind this phone, it would have been very cool to see Android 3.0 add this feature and use Chrome OS to run the laptop part with the same phone interface window.
I think this just demonstrates how innovation can blossom when hardware makes don't have to worry too much on software or pay for the basic code. Go GOOGLE - I would buy this over the Nexus S.
While the webtop aims to add value to the ATRIX 4G, not including a webcam definately throws to the trash one key feature: video chat.
And one thing that really blows is that when motorola decides to stop releasing firmware updates for your ATRIX 4G you'll be left not only with an outdated phone, but also an outdated netbook.
Still, it's the most impressive smartphone ever. period.
@fedemenoyo i agree with the lack of webcam. I hope motorola includes this this feature in its final release. Also, it'd be amazing if when docked in the HD dock to a tv, that Google TV would be an option instead of Chrome OS.
Another cool feature would be if it could be docked to a tablet.
With everyone saying that moto blur is crap, is it really that bad ??
Unfortunately it was, but it looks very snappy in all these hands-on videos, even better than the nexus s on gingerbread, even though its a pre release software
Other than the sluggishness I have no problems with Moto Blur, and it looks more polished in this version
@MrNerd123 yeah, unplug it... and use it like a normal smartphone with standard features... well... it's not the idea here... the netbook dock should have all the features of the smartphone and provide further capabilities.
@fedemenoyo - The phone already has built in video chat. When you connect it to the laptop dock, the front of the phone will also pop up. This will allow the user to continue using the phone (video chat, text or make phone calls), as well as use the laptop. Motorola has been very up to date with system upgrades for the Droid, so I doubt very seriously that they will leave Atrix users high and dry ... unlike Apple and the iPhone.
@jcgray66 The Atrix docks on the back of the laptop, so... if I want to videochat, I lose sight of the laptop's screen and keyboard. Regarding OS upgrades, motorola has been updating only their high-end line and only in USA, in the rest of the world the Droid is called Milestone, and it's still on 2.1. That's REALLY lame and unacceptable. The Atrix is impressive, but moto is very close-minded, they keep bootloaders locked and don't release updates, they expect you forget and buy their new stuff.
This is the best thing AT&T has come out with in some time. It compares right up their with Mac innovations. What I would like to see more of on Youtube for prospective buyers is the use of citrus through the Atrix 4G with the dual core processor. I am able to hook right up to my Mac at home and use Business Office 2011, access my time capsule, Mac TV, anything you can do with a laptop accessing your computer with Citrus or for Windows Users PC ANYWHERE.
