The Motorola Droid 4, or Milestone 4 if you live in the UK, broke cover today in a flurry of leaked press material. The tastiest bit for us though, is that Motorola wants to push on with its vision of turning your phone into your computer, and is launching two new lapdocks to prove it.
Like the Motorola Atrix before it, the Droid 4 will be bestowed with the ability to connect to a shell of a laptop or through a monitor with keyboard and mouse to turn into a makeshift computer. The docked handset will throw up an updated version of the Atrix’s ‘webop’ basic computing experience, with Firefox browser built in.
Why Motorola’s lapdock approach is the future of computing
The new docks are called the Lapdock 100 and Lapdock 500 Pro. Both have a spruced up design over the original, but the difference is in screen size – the 100 has a 10-inch display while the Lapdock 500 Pro has a 14-inch number, plus a built-in webcam.
The Atrix presented a decent proof of concept for the lapdock computer, but can the Droid 4 better it? We really hope so, because being able to use your phone as your computer is a big leap forward. Disappointingly, neither of these docks will work with the Atrix.
