Motorola Atrix – your phone, your laptop, your everything!

Quite a cool idea, that you can dock your phone and be using it like a desktop… Although it should have quite a few issues as it is the first generation of it. But the idea itself is cool, as you can actually use 1 device throughout, files and contacts don’t really need to be sync from phone, to your laptop to your desktop to your phone again. Haha!

Here is hands on video on Atrix, it is already working, will be release by the first quarter of 2011:

It is quite cool right, but I think the media center dock is quite “stupid”. If I have AirPlay like iPhone, I don’t really need to dock my phone to play my videos on phone. What is worse is you will have to run to your phone if you get a phone call or text message? If I’m doing AirPlay I can just answer it… anywhere in the house.

Nevertheless Atrix seems like a quick glance to the future of what we will be having. Dummy Terminals like the laptop dock, and we just need to bring around our smartphones. Motorola, please add a video cam on your laptop dock, else how do you do video calls?

Impressive Future Smartphone by Mozilla!

I know Microsoft is building Windows Phone 7, Android is growing very strong and Apple is one of the most popular and innovative smartphone manufacturer around. But Mozilla came out with what I feel the most impressive and amazing smartphone concept around.

Mozilla Seabird

Although Seabird is just a concept but the design is already quite fully featured. It comes with 8MP camera, IR dongle together with Bluetooth for Ear-piece which can be detach from the phone itself!

The most impressive part is the 2 way projector built-in on the phone! You will be able to project out a virtual keyboard and display, so you can use your phone like a PC/laptop whereever you dock your phone! Impressive yeah?


Stop imagining the phone, check out their concept video below:

iPad launch in Singapore on Friday, but I’m not buying it. Why?

4 Reasons why I’m not buying Apple iPad as a Apple fan boy.

1. I’m Poor. OK la!

This is the most common reason people give right? But actually poor is relative. I will be buying iPhone 4 even if it is more expensive than iPad, why? Because I love my iPhone 3G and I have been waiting for iPhone 4 for 6months(I’m out of mobile contract).

2. iPad is running iOS which is almost same as iPhone’s iOS.

I don’t seem much difference from using a iPhone and iPad. Yes, the screen is bigger but overall the feel is completely the same. I don’t think I am going to buy another iPhone just because it have bigger screen.

3. I feel that iPad is abit too limited as a Portable Tablet/Computer.

Yes, you might argue that iPad is not a computer, it is a consumer device like TV or Nintendo Wii. But for me I feel that iPad will be a PC replacement, with iPad I think 90% of my normal day Computer workflow can be achieve on it. For eg. Surfing web, watching podcast, blogging, tweeting, facebook, email, IM, listening to music and even gaming. But there is this 10% that is don’t really do yet that is bothering me.

  • No external drive – I’m almost limited to 16-64gb of space, If I need more I can’t get…. yes, dropbox or some other way I can get more space, but it is just not my normal workflow.
  • No iMovie – One of the main reason I love my MacBook Pro is that it have iMovie, a very powerful and easy to use Movie Editor that I can import clips from my HD Camcorder, editor and export them. I can’t really do it on my iPad
  • Multi-tasking – Yes, you can say that Multi-tasking is coming, but it is not true multi-tasking.
  • Files Support – I hope play RMVB files, or some other format of files on iPad, but it is not really possible now.
  • Files Download – It is not as easy to download and open files like you normally do on a Mac/PC.

4. Android

I always have a interest in Android, even before the first Android phone came out, I’m already reading heavy on it and thought of doing development(during my poly days). So if there is any tablet is that going to have a good form factor, good battery life and runs Android, it might be a better choice for me.

Thus… I’m not getting iPad when it launch in Singapore, even though I want one… :X
