[Atrix 4G General] crashingout:
Jha is a dumbass

For all their focus groups, boards of marketing, and research and development, they really ****ed up some unbelievably simple stuff here. I've been using my Atrix the way it was meant to the day the webtop hack came out, as a new computing paradigm. Unfortunately ATT and Motorola conspired to completely shank this awesome potential, some of which I have restored.

They still haven't given me my promised 1080P, so I got it anyway.

They took out the HDMI cable only webtop mode they previewed, so I got it anyway.

They abstained from the baked goodness that is gingerbread(I''ll bet money if they did 2.4 AOSP with no ****oblur or ATT bloat, custom mobile AP/tethering restrictions etc that they could have had virgin Gingerbread in time for release, those f*ckers), so I got it sort-a-way with Gingerblur.

They ruined the laptop dock with a mandatory mobile tethering plan which would kill my unlimited(the whole REASON I bought an Atrix, to suck down ATT data) plan, so I got it anyway by deleting their broadband APN and tether hack.

They canceled their awesome soft touch rubberized battery cover which fits perfectly in the dock, so I got it anyway from f*cking China.

They shot their sales prospects in the face with a sawed off shotty by making their laptop dock a penultimate $600+ without the tethering plan, $1400 with the plan, so I got it anyway by buying it at the price it SHOULD have been, $200 refurb. Those moto monkeys should have made it $200-300 at either a loss or no profit, to get people to get the phone, and then that way when they release their more polished version of this idea in a couple years, the same people will get on the Motorola b(r)andwagon.

They did not understand that their idea was excellent, but their execution was mangled, so I got it anyway, and I love it, but I would not recommend this product to someone who isn't intricately knowledgeable in mobile platforms and/or linux.

You simply cannot get the best out of this device without those two elements, and I say this having tried all the tegra apps, I have like 6 different RDP apps, and over a hundred of the best apps that truly show off this platforms potential. It's an amazing powerhouse of a platform.

I need to speak up about webtop though, I've been using it since they hacked the HDMI cable and I used it with a bluetooth desktop. Since getting my refurbed lapdock I have noticed two things. One is that the updates 1.57 and 1.83 have given webtop some speed boosts. Two, is that WEBTOP SUCKS UNTIL YOU DO THIS! :

Click Tools in FF, then Add-Ons. Install AdBlock Plus now! It stops the garbage that slows down webtop, the ****ty ads for the Xoom plastered all over XDA and the internet. I used to be able to run two windows with several tabs each before things would slow down, now I can easily load up 3 browser windows with 20 tabs each. I had the hardest time figuring out how to stop ads with webtop at first because I was looking for a way to do flash on demand. AdBlock plus which is a free FF extension, makes webtop kick mucho ass for portable computing. I saw a dock for an ipad yesterday that adds a trackpack and keyboard, in a large unwieldy $439 package. I know for a fact my Atrix and Refurbdock craps all over anything an ipad can do, I have a mouse with RDP and I can use it all day, ANYWHERE, with my HSPA connection. For the kind of work I do, this machine is without equal, now that it is so fast, both connection and browsing speed.

USAF SAR Motto: Get lost!

With this thing, that might be difficult
