Laptops and Phones Finally Together

So first there were the not so portable computers that took up whole rooms. Then along came computers that could sit on a desk. Now we have laptops. Phone services and phone have also evolved into a mini computers. I do not know why they are even called phones anymore. With all this technology, it seems like the right next step is to basically integrate as much as possible, and then we will figure out if they are useful or not. The Motorola Atrix 4G is a dream phone, with a big screen and a superfast dual-core processor that rivals some low-end computers, such as netbooks. What’s brilliant is that it docks to a laptop that has no brains: The smartphone’s processor runs the laptop’s screen and keyboard. What you see on the phone, you see on the laptop when you dock the phone. And the laptop’s innards, devoid of any brains, are loaded up with battery life — around 10 hours. What’s more, the laptop charges the phone during docking. Motorola calls the laptop a Lapdock. History will sort out what this new class of gadget gets called. But history-making it may well be. Just imagine what it will be able to do.
