9 minute demo of the Motrola Atrix smartphone and notebook

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 09 Jan 2011 3:15 User comments (4)

DigitalTrends managed to get a really nice 9-minute video from a Motorola executive who was showing off the Motorola Atrix smartphone; which doubles as a full notebook computer.

The Atrix runs Android 2.2 on a powerful Nvidia Tegra 2 1GHz AP20H dual-core processor, alongside 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, a huge 1930 mAh battery, and a 4-inch multi-touch screen with Gorilla Glass.

Additionally, the smartphone has a 5MP standard camera and a VGA front-side camera and AT&T 4G LTE support.

Unique to the device is a biometric fingerprint reader, which can be used to literally block anyone who isn't you from turning on the device.

The notebook (Atrix dock) is incredibly thin and has a stated 10-hour battery life.

When connected, the notebook runs off the Atrix phone, allowing owners to use a Linux-based OS, or just run the phone's features in full-screen (15-inch) mode.

For anyone interested, the video is a bit long, but very comprehensive. The whole design is very innovative.

This is going to be my next phone. I hope it comes to Canada, and to Telus. Rogers and Bell are horrible. Telus isn't that great either but they're a bit better. Some of the angles make it look a little thick, but it's actually about 1mm thinner than the HTC Desire, so considering what's inside this phone, that's pretty impressive. I might wait for MWC, just to give WP7 a second chance cause they really dissapointed with the hardware, although I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft doesn't show any WP7 phones that even comes close to this. If not, I can't wait to get my hands on the Atrix.

CRAP, I just read that it's coming to Bell. Hopefully it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to get it unlocked on a no term. At least it's not going to Rogers, I might consider signing up for 1 year for Bell just to get this phone.

	Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm In out in-depth review of Roborock Saros Z70 we put the robot vacuum through a 3 month test period, where we observed its work in normal home. The sci-fi -like arm of Z70 was a little bit disappointing, due its limited functionality.
	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
