Last night, I bought a Motorola Atrix 4G mobile phone & Laptop Dock accessory.  The Atrix 4G phone is awesome – faster than iPhone 4. The laptop dock is light, and I love the keyboard.  I’m not sure how useful the Laptop Dock will be in the long run vs. an iPad, but I’ve got a 14 day trial period with it on AT&T to find out…  I’ll be posting more on the Atrix and Laptop Dock combination once I’ve had more time with it.  Here are my initial observations… (more…)
