One of the first smartphones to feature a massive dual-core processor, as well as dual cameras for video-chatting, the Motorola Atrix is all set to be one of the best handsets of the year.\u00a0 But the biggest news about the Atrix is its fingerprint-recognition technology, which sounds like something that\u2019s come straight out of Q\u2019s laboratory!\u00a0 In fact, that\u2019s not the only way that the Atrix is like a gadget from a James Bond film \u2013 it can also be three devices in one, due to specially-designed Motorola Atrix accessories<\/a> which transform it into a SatNav or even a laptop.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at these nifty pieces of tech which could spell the future of mobile computing.<\/p>\n

Motorola Atrix Laptop Dock<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using the specially made Motorola Atrix Laptop Dock<\/a>, your Atrix can be transformed into a full multimedia laptop experience.<\/p>\n

Unlike most Motorola Atrix docks<\/a>, the Laptop Dock isn\u2019t just a desk charger that syncs and charges your phone.\u00a0 It\u2019s easier to think of it as an empty laptop shell, with stereo speakers and full QWERTY keyboard built-in, but no internal memory or hard drive.\u00a0 Instead, your Atrix acts as a hard-drive; simply plug it into the back of the Laptop Dock and the webtop app will launch automatically, allowing you to view all of your apps and media content on a larger screen.<\/p>\n

This is very exciting stuff which could sound a death-knell to netbooks; perhaps in the future we\u2019ll store all of our data on our smartphones and simply plug them into our empty \u201claptop\u201d whenever we need to interact with a more desktop-like experience.<\/p>\n

The Laptop Dock won\u2019t run down precious mobile phone batteries<\/a> either, as it runs off its own battery which is good for up to eight hours\u2019 continuous use.<\/p>\n

Motorola Atrix Vehicle Dock<\/p><\/div>\n

Just as you can transform the Atrix into a fully-functional \u201claptop\u201d device, you can also turn it into a SatNav by slotting it into the Vehicle Dock.\u00a0 This Motorola Atrix car holder<\/a> is designed specifically for the Atrix, and holds it safely and sturdily on either your windscreen or dashboard.\u00a0 It can also be rotated by 360 degrees, so that you can put it at the best angle to view safely as you drive.<\/p>\n

The really stand-out thing about this dock is how integrated and functional it is.\u00a0 Once you\u2019ve clicked the Atrix into place inside the Vehicle Dock for Motorola Atrix<\/a>, built-in dock software will automatically start, which optimises your home-screen for use within the car.\u00a0 The Motorola Atrix dock<\/a> for vehicles also plugs into your cigarette lighter via microUSB, so your battery will stay topped up as you travel \u2013 good news, since GPS can be a huge drain on any phone\u2019s resources.<\/p>\n
