Android - coming to a desktop near you!

This is a very cool and interesting development. Motorola unveiled their new Atrix phone at this year's CES event in Las Vegas. It is a very high spec Android phone with 1gig of RAM, dual processors, hd video capture, large battery and a very high res screen. However, the most interesting trick it can pull is that when it is connected to a dock it can operate as a web-top pc, outputting to a monitor via hdmi and controlled by a keyboard and mouse. There is also a laptop-style dock where it can connect to a portable screen and keyboard and be used in a bigger but still portable. This modular approach is very intriguing!

The time when our mobile phone is as powerful as a regular desktop pc is fast approaching and this might be the first device of this kind off the grid...
