February 28, 2011 No Comment
You know how Motorola’s Atrix is unique in having all these docking stations and a Webtop app that collectively turn it into a far more versatile computer than your average superpowered smartphone? Well, Sanjay Jha has just told investors at a Morgan Stanley shindig that the Atrix won’t be unique for long — the Webtop app will be making an appearance on all of Moto’s “high performance” smartphones in the second half of this year, and we’re told that the only reason the Droid Bionic won’t be shipping with it was the simple constraint of time. What that implies, but something Jha didn’t say, is that the Bionic and Moto’s other forthcoming devices are likely to have laptop docks of their own — hopefully with a connector that makes the docking accessory interchangeable between models.

Here’s a trend we can get behind: ASUS and others are remixing existing, yet-to-be-released Android tablets with Honeycomb where it makes sense to do so. The Eee Pad MeMO, for instance, is now being promised with a Qualcomm port of the platform in time for its June launch — and along those same lines, the company is showing its Eee Pad Transformer here at CeBIT with a Honeycomb upgrade. Unlike the MeMO, the Transformer is just a straight Tegra 2 setup like the already-launched Xoom , which is likely why they were able to get it loaded on here and functioning relatively well in time for the show. The build ASUS has here doesn’t appear to be final — the Android Market is missing, for example — but what was there seemed to be running smoothly; considering the internals, we’d expect no less. Follow the break for video (pardon the lack of audio — there was some talking going on that we found distracting).
