Atrix 4G – One device to rule them all

25 March 2011 | 59 Comments » | opp_id

There have been projections that our myriad of electronic devices (TVs, phones, computers) will eventually meld into one. My computer is already thinner than my TV, has a higher resolution capability, and is the actual source of my entertainment programming, so its easy to see how the TV will quickly become redundant.

Tablets have of course been all the rage this year, but so far they haven’t really had the guts to be contenders for a true all-in-one device. Smartphones on the other hand, are becoming very interesting.

The Motorola Atrix 4G represents the first legitimate picture of what a true all-in-one device could look like – a device that can actually go with you everywhere and facilitate whatever you’re doing. It is a fully functional smartphone on its own. By slipping it into the Motorola LapDock, it becomes a laptop. By connecting it to your LCD monitor, it becomes your entertainment hub, capable of full HD content.

I’ve heard it suggested that Google is taking over the world. This may make Motorola their partner in crime.
