That's a really good idea, I wonder how long that battery lasts?

i would imagine the phone would get a wee boost when docked with the laptop. nice to see motorola are using linux too

I get the impression that the dock can work with any device.

But what price is it worthwhile when a decent netbook will runs rings around it in productivity?
At less than £150 it might really make the phone itself a star buy though.

The laptop dock only works with the Motorola Atrix. The laptop battery lasts 7 - 8 hours and charges the phone at the same time.

It sounds a reasonably easy hack to work with any HDMI phone moandal.
Buying one might be the harder part.

Its supposedly currently listed for sale at $60 which sounds 'cost price'.

If correct A T & T and Motorola is very much using this as a teaser to attract market share.

I think you're getting confused between the multimedia dock, which has been listed at $59, and the laptop dock, which has been listed at $150:

You failed to read yours as hearsay so the confusion is all yours.

It certainly seems too low with it having a battery,
I'll post the link later and the Best Buy hearsay price there sounds more sensible.

$60 link.

That link is for the multimedia dock just as I said, not the laptop dock, so I suggest you are indeed the confused one.

However none of these items are for sale yet, so none of these prices can be treated as anything more than an indication. However $59 for the multimedia dock and $150 for the laptop both sound plausible to me. $59 for the laptop dock doesn't.

If so fooled me and maybe the web sites I read, though they do work a bit like misleading spam to generate interest in their sites.
The folding screen and $50 for the basic dock added to the equations.


In fact there must be 4 docks so far!
I wonder if the laptop dock is delayed then.
