Atrix 4G

When the Motorola Atrix 4G was launched it was marketed as the "world's most powerful smartphone". It was considered one of the most interesting new smartphones to be announced at the CES 2011 show. It used Android 2.2 and had a 1 GHz Tegra 2 processor. It was one of several phones to be announced at CES 2011 that used this new chip. The phone also had a four-inch capacitive display and a biometric fingerprint sensor. The Tegra 2 processor dramatically improved the performance of Android devices and enabled Motorola to share content via the HDMI port on the phone to a TV screen. The Atrix also featured a discrete "Webtop" environment stored in the device's memory. Motorola also offered two accessories for the Atrix phone, an HD multimedia dock and a laptop dock, known as the “Lapdock”. The Lapdock, combined with the Webtop capability, allowed users to significantly extend the functionality of the Atrix phone to become a mini-laptop experience. The Lapdock had no physical memory with all the processing power coming from the Atrix phone. When the Atrix phone was inserted into the Lapdock it activated the Webtop application, providing the user with a familiar computing experience and a full Firefox browser. Phone functions such as calling, messaging and applications could be run from a separate window. Business users with Citrix accounts could connect securely to a virtual desktop or to remote Web and office applications hosted on a Citrix XenDesktop. The lapdock blurred the line between computers and mobile devices but it had a questionable addressable market and ultimately was not particularly successful. The Atrix phone was initially made available by US network AT&T and also through Orange in the UK and Rogers in Canada.
