[Motorola Droid Bionic] themonkbythesea:
If Bionic could charge Lapdock:

I think "lazy" is a little harsh and a little ignorant as to my true goal. I believe I was explicit in my post that I always trying to achieve a method to have a continuous loop of power. 1 extra battery charging on the wall, always ready to go when the one I'm using dies. I would argue it is not a matter of laziness but ingenuity. Not only would this achieve an endless supply of power, but it achieves this without having being tied to a charging cable and outlet. It would be the closet thing to wireless charging which is something companies have already began experimenting with. Everything else has gone wireless, why not batteries. It will come, naysayers aside. And their are numerous articles about lack of battery development and improvements happening. Well, for me this above solution was a huge, overlooked, benefit of the LapDock. Show me a laptop where I can easily take my battery out and charge in on the wall across the room. I think many, many people would love a implementation like this. People do not like being tied to cables. Period. And laptop, lapdock, tablet, etc. batteries just do not keep up with heavy usuage and workloads. Yes I could charge the Lapdock at nite. And yes, if you want to play semantics, you can call it lazy. Then along that vein, any more effiecient idea is laziness.

Also, I am not sure i am convinced with arguments Bionic w/Extended battery could not keep Lapdock powered. I am sure it could, the more prudent question is how long? Bionic's extended battery is 2700mah. I read the Motolora Xyboard has a 3960mah battery. That is only a difference of 1260mah. So if Xyboard gets something like around 8hrs on a 3960mah powering it's larger screen, than I could make a somewhat probable expectation that Bionic+Extended Battery could at worse case scenario power LapDock for at least 3-4 hrs. And given that I (and I argue many others who would find this method useful) simply walk over to battery being charged on wall and switch them every 4 hrs or so. Not bad to me. Have a continuos loop of power, not be tied to a charging cable, and all I have to do is switch out batteries every few hours. Has is this that much different from people who carry around an extra laptop battery, or phone battery, or power brick. Also, the Asus Padfone. It is more or less the same concept as the Lapdock. I have not looked into it, but would this be true too for that? Would the tablet not work if you docked the phone inside it, unless the tablet was charged? Or would tablet draw power from it?

My main goal for this post was to see if it was possible and if anyone in community had some ideas as to how. Anything is possible right? Hell, they made Atrix lapdocks work with Bionics, Webtop work without an hd dock, and etc. So maybe this would require a little wiring or something of the sort. Since no solutions were put forth, I will definitely get with some of my engineer freinds and see what they can do. But also, I guess the purpose of this post was also to share and put forth the idea another unique use of this LapDock form factor we have. I think it was genius Motorola did this. I think the form factor, hardware was right on, but it was the anemic WebTop software which killed. Using my phone with Lapdock and HD dock and cloud computing (remote desktop client or Citrix) is the future of smart phones. And i by no means take no credit for this idea. "Nirvana phone" ideas have been around for awhile. These articles and vidoes are what drew me to the Bionic. But one benefit i had hoped for and never expected was to be able to utilize a method of having continous power by switching out batteries with an extra battery being charged on the wall, and not be tied to charging cable. I think it is a great idea, if it were possible. And I would think if some savvy manufacturer implemented this, they would find large consumer base. Hell, i'll throw out another idea. Having a Lapdock like device but inlude a dock on it for an external battery charger for the wall. So you could easily snap off external battery charger and extra battery from Lapdock, plug it in to wall, and comeback to where you are sitting and work. Then when ready to leave, unplug it, and easily snap/dock it to Lapdock and off you go. No more carrying around a big charging cable. All-in-one. Whole thing slides into a 1/2" thick sleeve and off you go.....
