Motorola Atrix – the secret double life as a netbook

Motorola Atrix 4G uses NVIDIA’s latest dual-core Tegra 2 chipset, has 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage for user, a 5MP rear camera with LED flash plus a front-facing VGA camera for video calls, a fingerprint reader for secure unlocking, and a 4-inch display with a resolution of 960×540. The Atrix will be shipped with Android 2.2 instead of the latest version, and it’s not yet clear when it will be getting an upgrade to Gingerbread.

Motorola Droid X – video review

Motorola Droid X is running with a Texas Instruments 1GHz OMAP 3630 CPU running on top of Android 2.1, though you can expect an update to Android 2.2 around Q4 of 2010. It has 8GB of built-in storage, plus it comes with a nice 16GB microSD card. If you buy a 32GB microSD card, you’re up to 40GB of space. The capacitive display is a traditional backlit LCD and is 4.3″ and WVGA+ resolution (that’s 854×480), which is the highest that Android can support currently. The Droid X has a ton of wireless radios and components: WiFi, CDMA with EVDO Rev A, Bluetooth, FM Radio, and GPS (assisted). For imaging, the rear camera (which has a dual LED flash) takes stills at 8MP and video at 720p. For video out, there is a microHDMI type D connector, and for syncing and charging, we have microUSB. The battery is 1500mAh, which is the same size of the EVO 4G.
