Motorola Atrix - new Phone that can turns into PC or Laptop
Slowly but surely we will only need one device to be connected anywhere.

This is the Motorola Atrix 4G

Sporting dual core processor with 1 GB of RAM. It can be used to power a desktop or laptop via its docks.

Check out the video!



Bell seems to have it geared up for launch here in Canada

This is really epic... but I almost feel like it's putting way too much reliance into one device.

Like if you lose or get your phone stolen, you lose:

a) your laptop
b) your desktop
c) your entertainment system
d) your phone

AWESOME!

Prediction: This will be hacked to run Ubuntu like that eventually since we can already run Ubuntu on our Android phones locally.

I can't wait for the first clone to come out.
Should only be a couple of months.

Makes moving a desktop easier, I don't see the point of miniturizing that amount of stuff when you could use a laptop, but I bet it has its purposes.

Screwed Atrix.

I rather have that phone!

Hopefully it comes out before I get too old to use it.

That is just pure awesome. Both the Atrix and the Seabird more so.

So you guys still want it?

I like the fingerprint scanner/power button feature.
