AT&T "Truly Raising the Bar"?
It’s hard to believe that we could possibly require our smartphones to have any more technological capacity. However, the industry has been growing so fast that most of us are constantly curious as to what the next innovation will provide. Many people were not overly impressed by Apple’s upgrade to the iPad which turned out to be just “a big iTouch” after a lot of excited speculation preceding its release. Yet, it did take only 24 hours for Apple to sell 300,000 of those. Anyways, if you’re wondering what the next thing in cutting edge smartphone technology looks like; Motorola seems to have quite a good candidate!
It’s a phone that is also the life and mind of your laptop! It plugs into a docking station on the companion laptop, literally bringing the processor-less, hard-drive-less, memory-less computer to life. Now that’s a testament to the power that these smartphones are packing! The Atrix just took this to the next the level, sporting its very own dual-core processor.
Walking into lecture a college student could be finishing up their latest text message and then simply insert the phone into their laptop and be ready to take notes. Not to mention, this means that all those important documents and other computer files one has, are at all times just a reach-in-your-pocket away. The coolest part about the whole setup though, has to be the fact that a cellphone running the computer means wireless internet access wherever you go! One could even be surfing the net on their computer during a long car ride.
Of course, as with anything that sounds this good, there are bound to be a few small strings attached. There is a$20/month fee required to have access to AT&T’s data plan, but most smartphone users pay that already. Also, the laptop does not come free with purchase of the Atrix phone so in reality the whole package costs somewhere around $500. Yet that is still less than half of the cost of Macbook computer alone . Finally, a small number of complaints with particular functions of the phone have apparently been expressed, but then again, I don’t remember the last tech innovation that was introduced without experiencing criticism about room for improvement. I haven’t tested it myself, but the Motorola Atrix 4G certainly presents a phone with a new practical twist and is likely to be the most recent product responsible for “raising the bar” in terms of personal electronics intelligence.
