The Motorola Atrix takes BYOD to a whole new level

One of the projects that caught my attention from the start, was the Nirvana phone. This was a concept started by Citrix, in cooperation with OpenKernel Labs. The idea behind this device was just to plug the phone into a monitor and connect to a keyboard via Bluetooth. Instead of using a mouse, the phone could be used as a touchpad. As a result, you'd have a full desktop experience without actually having a full desktop. 

Recently, Motorola gave this concept a whole new dimension by releasing their Atrix 4G phone. At it's releasedate (March 6th), this was the first dual-core Android phone, and was dubbed by Motorola as "the world's most powerful smartphone". The thing has a 4" qHD screen, as well as 1GB of RAM paired with a 1930mAh battery to keep it all running. There's a lot more to say about this monster of a device, but it's a lot more interesting to see it in action in the video on top of this post. Currently, AT&T is selling a package of docking plus phone, for $499,99.
