It seems a little soon for the ATRIX to get a sequel, especially since the original is still available – at the same $99 price point, no less. Does some slightly updated hardware and a larger screen add up to a more compelling purchase? Let’s find out.<br> </div></div></div>

How To Make Skype Video Calls On Your Android Honeycomb Tablet

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"></span><br /> <img alt="skype for android" border="0" class="aligncenter" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/b2dbf2aa53roid10.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/b2dbf2aa53roid10.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />Skype, the popular application for voice and video calls, supports a range of mobile operating systems, including Android. Unfortunately, the list of supported devices for video calls is limited. This has been a major source of disappointment.<br /> With its recent upgrade, Skype for Android white-listed 14 more devices for video calling, including three tablets running Android Honeycomb: the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, the Motorola Xoom, and the Acer Iconia Tablet. Unfortunately, the video calling option is not enabled by default. This article will walk you through the setup as seen on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 running Android 3.1 (Honeycomb).<br /> <h2 style="font-size: 1.5em;"> Step 1: Install Latest Version Of Skype For Android</h2> If you don’t have Skype installed yet, navigate to the Android Market on your tablet and search for Skype or simply visit this link to install Skype.<br /> <img alt="skype for android" border="0" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/c4aeb412e8roid01.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/c4aeb412e8roid01.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /><br /> If Skype is already installed on your tablet, check whether it was updated automatically or update the app manually. Navigate to the Android Market and click on > <em>My apps</em> in the top right of your screen.<br /> <img alt="skype android app" border="0" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/dcce301dcfroid04.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/dcce301dcfroid04.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /><br /> Select Skype from your list of installed applications and then click a button that says > <em>Update</em>, provided you see it. If you have automatic updates enabled, your Skype will already be up to date. To confirm the version, click on > <em>See details</em>.<br /> <img alt="skype android app" border="0" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/77fedc1526roid03.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/77fedc1526roid03.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /><br /> <h2 style="font-size: 1.5em;"> Step 2: Enable Video Calling</h2> Open Skype from your apps. While in the Skype menu view (<em>Contacts, Recent, Call Phones</em> and <em>Profile</em>), tab the menu button in the bottom left and open > <em>Settings</em>.<br /> <img alt="skype android app" border="0" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/04f3e83517roid09.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/04f3e83517roid09.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /><br /> In the <em>Settings</em> view, scroll down to the section that says > <em>Video calls</em>. Check the box for > <em>Enable video calling</em>.<br /> <img alt="skype on android" border="0" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/afe220807droid06.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/afe220807droid06.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /><br /> A message may pop up notifying you that the device has not yet been certified to work with Skype. Click > <em>Continue</em> to enable video calls.<br /> <img alt="skype on android" border="0" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/15909532c4roid07.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/15909532c4roid07.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /><br /> While enabling video calling, Skype will automatically reload. Once this procedure has completed, you can go ahead and adjust other video calling settings to meet your preferences or make your first video call with your tablet.<br /> <img alt="skype on android" border="0" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/a3148d029broid08.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/a3148d029broid08.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /><br /> <h2 style="font-size: 1.5em;"> Step 3: Make a Video Call</h2> When you now attempt to call one of your contacts, the > <em>Skype video call</em> option will appear on the list of actions.<br /> <img alt="skype video call" border="0" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/c6eaa4b6bcroid05.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/c6eaa4b6bcroid05.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /><br /> While on a video call with a friend, you can tab the screen to switch or turn off the camera. Click the camera icon in the bottom right to access the camera selection. Per default, Skype will use the > <em>Front camera</em>. On tablets featuring a backside camera, you can also switch to the > <em>Back camera</em>.<br /> <img alt="skype for android" border="0" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/ed0860c866roid02.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/ed0860c866roid02.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /><br /> The new version of Skype supports both portrait and landscape mode for video calls. To switch from one mode to another, enable auto rotation on your tablet and simply move your tablet around.<br /> </div>

Motorola commits to Ice Cream Sandwich and unlocked bootloaders

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 24px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; font: normal normal normal 13px/19px Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px; padding-bottom: 0.6em; padding-left: 0.6em; padding-right: 0.6em; padding-top: 0.6em;"> <div mce_style="text-align: center;" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: center;"> <img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="286" mce_src="http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/976/razrmain291x540.png" src="http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/976/razrmain291x540.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px;" width="154" />Motorola got no end of grief when it made the decision to lock the bootloader on its latest flagship device, the DROID RAZR. Though we later learned that international versions of the phone would be user-unlockable, their current and past reliance on custom software and locked bootloaders has been a sore spot with the Android mod community for years. Moto has decided to come clean with a forward-facing new start, instructing curious users to two separate sites for unlocking and upgrading.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"></span></div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> For Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades to current devices (like the DROID BIONIC and XOOM) as well as future software upgrades, head over to the Motorola Android Software Upgrade News page on the official Motorola forum. For news and instructions on bootloader unlocking, check out MOTODEV, a long-standing arm of Motorola’s software department. These two locations will have updates and instructions for all the devices that apply, presumably all the Android devices the company makes for U.S. carriers.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> It’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Motorola is serving the carriers first and foremost, and in Verizon’s case that means that they won’t be providing unlocked bootloaders any time in the near future. Prospective DROID RAZR owners can take heart in the fact that an unlock for the international RAZR will probably be reversed-engineered for US owners. In the meantime, the two sites are a good place to start in your modding endeavors – not to mention in making Motorola aware of your frustration.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif;

Motorola Xoom 2 roaming around the FCC

What seems to be a mystery tablet from Motorola was spotted sporting specs similar to recently leaked Xoom 2 devices, but we still aren’t sure what we are seeing and have been digging around trying to figure out more on this mystery device.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"></span></div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> What we do know, is we have a Motorola tablet most likely part of the Xoom family but that is all she felt like sharing. In September we saw two new Xoom tablets, a 7″ and a 10″ variant and then recently a few reports of an 8.2″ model has also been revealed. The slate is tagged with a FCC ID of 56MJ3 that makes it line up with other Motorola tablets, and the FCC filing claims a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, HDMI out and the usual 1280 x 800 resolution so things are sounding pretty accurate about now right?</div> <div mce_style="text-align: center;" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: center;"> <img alt="" class="size-medium wp-image-60315 aligncenter" height="167" mce_src="http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/81/mototablet540x279.png" src="http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/81/mototablet540x279.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px;" title="mototablet" width="324" /></div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> This could also just be the FCC filing for the recently spotted Xoom Family edition that is very similar to the original but it wasn’t listed as having a faster 1.2 GHz dual-core processor so most likely we are seeing more evidence of the new slates coming soon. The last details we heard was that the new Xoom 2 in the 7″ form factor was coming this November, with a super thin 10″ version hitting the shelves in early December. Sadly I wish the filing would say Ice Cream Sandwich but I’m just dreaming here. Hopefully we see more of these tablets soon and if we do, you’ll be the first to know.</div> </div> </div>

To start, we’ve heard and seen plenty about the 2.3 Gingerbread update for the DROID 2 Global and after more than a few soak tests and trial updates from as far back as June, today it’s officially rolling out again and should be smooth and ready to rock.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"></span></div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Verizon started the rollout back in September but users experienced a slew of issues and problems and the update was quickly pulled.

Such as a new user interface, download manager, improved copy/paste, browser stability and speed enhancements and more. Specific to Motorola they’ve fixed some stability and reboot problems, bluetooth connection issues and a slew of small bugs that were affecting some users of the Droid 2 Global. Users should see increased stability and speed, improved battery life and a few pre-loaded new applications such as Google Books, Amazon MP3, Blockbuster, Flash 10.2 and a few others.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Feel free to take the over the air update once it hits your device, or as always you can update manually by going to settings > about phone > and check for updates to pull it down now and enjoy the tasty Gingerbread as soon as possible.

Motorola and Verizon push out DROID X2 OTA maintenance update

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 24px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; font: normal normal normal 13px/19px Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px; padding-bottom: 0.6em; padding-left: 0.6em; padding-right: 0.6em; padding-top: 0.6em;"> <div mce_style="text-align: center;" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: center;"> <img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="311" mce_src="http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/2375/screenshot20111012at621.png" src="http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/2375/screenshot20111012at621.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px;" width="324" />For the most part the DROID X2 is a welcome update to Motorola’s original 4.3-inch slate phone, but the Gingerbread update it received this summer is not without its issues. Users have reported iffy keyboard detection, camera issues and random shutdowns. Hopefully those problems will be gone, or at least diminished, when the latest over-the-air update is applied. It’s available now – go to the “System Updates” section of the Android settings menu to download it.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> The DROID X2 was favorably reviewed back in May, with highlights including an improved 960 x 540 screen and the new dual-core processor. The phone lacks 4G LTE bands and so isn’t quite in the same class as more recent devices like the HTC Thunderbolt and Motorola DROID BIONIC, but as an original DROID X owner who lives in a 3G-only area, I can tell you it’s still a pretty solid phone. The Gingerbread update came in late July to a grateful userbase.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Other fixes in the “1.3.380.MB870.Verizon.en.US” update include skipping in the included MP3 and YouTube apps, improved functionality with the official desktop dock, a more secure Mobile Hotspot app and better 720p video recoSrding. You can head on over to Verizon’s official page to see the full list of changes. Users who don’t initiate an update maSnually should see an install message pop up on their phone sometime this week.</div> </div> </div>

Motorola’s new universal Lapdock 100 plays nice with all Webtop phones

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 24px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; font: normal normal normal 13px/19px Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px; padding-bottom: 0.6em; padding-left: 0.6em; padding-right: 0.6em; padding-top: 0.6em;"> <div mce_style="text-align: center;" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: center;"> <img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="220" mce_src="http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/3294/lapdock20stdhighpovatri.jpg" src="http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/3294/lapdock20stdhighpovatri.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px;" width="324" />DROID BIONIC users were none too thrilled when they learned that the laptop dock didn’t work with the same accessory from AT&T’s Atrix. Now Motorola has removed that little wrinkle with the Lapdock 100, a universal laptop dock for all upcoming Webtop phones including the Atrix 2. Even better, it’ll be compatible with the older Motorola phones as well.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"></span></div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Motorola skirts the physical docking problem with a more traditional cable that plugs into the ports on the side of the phone. This makes for a less integrated unit, but the cross-device advantages should be enough to offset that in the minds of most consumers. Some phones, like the BIONIC, will need an OTA software upgrade to use the new accessory. The Lapdock 100 keeps the 10-inch screen and dedicated Android buttons from the previous docks. The manufacturer is claiming five hours of battery life for the Lapdock, and users can connect to the Internet via Wifi or cable tethering with their device.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> AT&T will be the first to sell the Lapdock 100 on October 17th. Other carriers with Webtop-enabled phones will follow later this year. Pricing, alas, is not available, but at least you won’t have to wait long to find out. The device keeps one of the coolest features of the original, a full desktop-style Firefox browser and screen mirroring of its connected smartphone.</div> </div> </div>

XOOM 2 and Media Edition tablets spotted in Verizon database

Now it appears that these two tablets, code-named “Pasteur” and “Fleming” respectively, have appeared in Verizon’s Cellebrite database. Both devices are expected to debut later this year.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"></span></div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Both versions of the XOOM 2 feature up-to-date 4G radios and a modified tapering corner design (the better to ward off Apple’s attack lawyers). Initially it was speculated that the tablets would be running Android Honeycomb 3.2, but with Google’s acquisition of Motorola Mobility in its early stages, they might be fast-tracked to Ice Cream Sandwich before their release. Each uses a 5MP rear and 2MP front camera. No screen information is currently known, but based on some tipped hands-on experience, a standard 1280 x 800 resolution panel seems likely in both.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> These tablets are not to be confused with the 7-inch Motorola tablet spotted earlier. That device is speculated for a November release, with the new 10-inch XOOM following in December. Of course, the presence of these XOOMs in Verizon’s database merely means that someone, somewhere is testing out new hardware. As always with tipsters, these estimates are subject to change.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> )</div> </div> </div>

Motorola Atrix 2 Press Shots and Lapdock leaked

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the Atrix 2, but we now know that will be the official name — not the Atrix HD.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"></span></div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> The successor to the original Atrix was also spotted way back in August and was being rumored to have both an HD 720p display, and AT&T 4G LTE but these newest leaks and details have confirmed the specs. Headed soon to AT&T all of the signs are pointing to no 4G LTE. It will use 4G HSPA+ but not the new 4G LTE network that was just rolled out. This is a big mistake if you ask me, but we’ll see as the launch gets closer. Codenamed the “Edison” the specs are officially confirmed as a 4.3″ qHD 960 x 540 resolution Display, dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage (2GB micro-SD included). Featuring an 8MP camera on the rear (no hump like the Bionic) 2MP front facing video chat camera. Powered by Android 2.3 Gingerbread and the same Moto Blur UI we’ve seen plenty of lately.</div> <div mce_style="text-align: center;" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: center;"> <img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-54730 aligncenter" height="175" mce_src="http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/5500/motorolaatrix2lapdock1.jpg" src="http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/5500/motorolaatrix2lapdock1.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px;" title="motorola-atrix-2-lapdock1" width="246" /></div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Also leaked was some pictures of the Atrix 2′s new Motorola Lapdock. From the initial picture it seems to be huge but we could be wrong. Looking much fatter than the Bionic Lapdock seen here. No specific details or specs were given at this time but it’s said to be 10.1″ which is smaller than the previous version, so it should be lighter and a bit more portable. There also seems to be a cable attaching to the phone for the connection rather than docking the smartphone, hopefully Motorola will streamline the design and the same dock will work with all phones in the future unlike the previous models.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> This is just hitting the wires so we’ll continue to look for more information regarding both the Atrix 2 and the Lapdock.</div> </div> </div>
