Motorola Atrix 4G Steals the Show at CES 2011
CES attendees are raving about Motorola's latest smartphone, the Atrix 4G running Android 2.2 (Froyo). This puppy comes complete with a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 1GHz processor for blazing speeds. Atrix will launch on the AT&T network and support HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul.
Besides the slick 4-inch qHD display and impressive hardware stats, Motorola will offer a Laptop Dock and HD Multimedia Dock along with Webtop software that creates a laptop-like experience on the Atrix.
After all, the handset has enough computing power to replace a portable computer. The Laptop Dock basically turns the Atrix into a netbook, while the HD Multimedia Dock connects to a computer monitor, mouse and keyboard. Motorola is aiming to make the Atrix a user's primary, portable digital hub. The Webtop app runs Mozilla Firefox 3.6 with Adobe Flash.
Atrix has 16GB internal memory with support for up to a 32GB microSD card, rocks HD video recording and has front and rear facing cameras. The lines between portable computers and smartphones are quickly fading away. AT&T will launch the Atrix 4G starting in the first quarter of 2011.
