There's already a topic for this, but it's off-topic as it's in General forum.
Just askin.

What's interesting about this smartphone is not that it's running a Tegra 2, but that it is the modular computational-unit that can be placed in a dock, or a laptop-shell to make it act in more of a PC-like manner.

Actually, there's a better thread for this:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=67974
The title is somewhat confusing, but it's talking about the Atrix.

This is most impressive. While underpowered for a laptop, it's certainly good enough to do basic tasks. What's more is that the next generation ARM should put this combination on par with ATOMs which can run desktop apps reliably.
I would like to see this concept extend to a tablet-shell. Basically you get a smartphone and tablet in a single device. Add an extender battery for added life and you get a smartphone and tablet for [presumably] much less than the two alone.
Check out the video at the link above. It runs very well on a 24" screen.
What do you think?
Didn't Always innovating come up with a similar idea? http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/products/smartbook.htm
I haven't seen it yet, but looks interesting

yes the atrix sounds interesting.i like the fingerprint sensor idea very much
but again,16gb for a full hd recording phone is by far not enough.
for a 1080p phone there should be atleast 32gb mass storage

It supports microSD, you could have 48GB total.
The "netbook" dock is also intriguing:
I'm interested to know how much hardware is in the docks and whether or not the Atrix supports USB OTG "natively" (the docks have full-size USB ports but it's unclear if this is a feature only the docks can support).
Additionally I hope someone makes a small/pocket-able slide out keyboard attachment for Atrix (BT would be fine)
Furthermore it is unclear if Motorola will lock the bootloader (probably) and whether or not anyone can crack it. Additionally even cracked, the modifications required to make "vanilla" Android 2.3+ work with the "webtop" applications may prove to be quite a challenge.
Unfortunately there are simply too many unknowns at this point. And AT&T isn't known to go easy on the "DRM".
