Where Webtop so first a nearly complete Linux environment offered, it seems that Webtop 3.0, such as the version in the movie to see is hot, Webtop nothing else offers the standard environment that we know of Ice Cream Sandwich for tablets . Then you would if your Motorola device from Android 4.0-connects with a screen or on the move lapdock automatically begin to see the tablet layout applications.

Galaxy Nexus, see it used as a desktop computer

Galaxy Nexus – What do you actually use four CPU cores and 2GB of RAM in a mobile for? The issue is the number by which it is. A vision that is gaining popularity is that mobiles in time both will replace our desktops and laptops.

Standalone computers will probably always be able to offer more computing power and thus more appropriate for the most demanding games and advanced programs such as video conversion without ring, digital effects and music recording.

Photos of the Motorola Droid 4

While the Motorola Droid / Milestone 3 have not arrived in Europe, the first photos of his successor are already!

Motorola had left its mark on Android, with its first phone: the Droid. Its uniqueness was to have a sliding keyboard. Sold in Europe under the name Milestone, he remained quiet in France. Indeed, Motorola had given the exclusive Rue du Commerce, making it invisible to the phone number of consumers. Last year, the U.S. has released the second version of its phone, which unlike its predecessor, the overlay embeds Motoblur. This time, Motorola did not commit the mistake of giving exclusivity to an online store, as also proposed by the operators. A few months ago, the Milestone 3 has been formalized in many countries: South America, China, USA, Canada … but speaking European countries seem to have been forgotten.

It is difficult to say for now if the same fate awaits the Motorola Droid 4, which has just been released on several photos. We recognize the new style of RAZR, with its curved edges much less than before. The Motorola Droid 4 keyboard key element of this model has changed slightly. Since Milestone 3, fifth row contained the numbers appeared. It is now decorated with new shortcuts via the SYM key. Other keys of the alphabet for their lost many special characters that they had before.

The LG Optimus 2X will not Ice Cream Sandwich

Update 20.30: LG says the decision was not taken … More end of the article; bad news for owners of LG Optimus 2X: Ice Cream Sandwich will not be worn on the phone officially. It should perhaps have already Android Gingerbread…

We regularly criticize Motorola and its policy of updating. It is true that Android Gingerbread offer this summer in the U.S. and wait for the Motorola Atrix in November to deploy in Europe, it is rather frowned upon. In this classification the manufacturer’s pathetic putting as much time to send updates, there is also LG.

The Optimus 2x was the first smartphone to have a dual-core processor. In his announcement, we really believed that LG had changed. Indeed, the brand began to really high-end, while having an aggressive pricing policy. It was announced Android 2.2 (FroYo), but we do not find this necessarily disturbing in that the update was announced as close.

The Motorola Atrix and Motorola Milestone 2 will come under Gingerbread next month in Europe

In Europe Android 3.2 (Honeycomb) is nearing the end of the month for the Motorola Xoom. Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) on the Motorola Atrix and Motorola Milestone 2, it will have to wait until mid-November.

Motorola Mobility is recognized for the quality of its phones on the material side. But as soon as you scratch to the software side, one is immediately surprised by the difference in treatment. MotoBlur is often considered ill-suited and lags behind its competitors. Since Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), the syndrome attenuates with a redesigned interface. But it is still necessary to have this version!

Indeed, although the Motorola Atrix with Gingerbread tastes this summer in North America, Europeans are simply deplorable policy of Motorola Europe. However, a new message on Facebook, we learn more about the arrival of this upgrade:

Motorola Pro: Test by Gonzaga

The recently released Motorola Pro in Orange is like the name implies … designed for pros! Our friend Gonzaga (the blogger) very attached to Android as well as keyboards for Blackberry was logically attracted to this hybrid format.

As you can see below, the Motorola Pro does not shine by its performance, but this format is unique on Android: a full QWERTY keyboard combined with a 3.1 inch touch screen.

     * Port Micro-SD and Micro-USB

Gonzaga was able to test it a mixed review but especially encouraging for Motorola. Motorola format but please make mistakes beginners: Android 2.2 instead of the latest version, no release system with fingerprint as the Motorola Atrix, no $ key… If we listen to Motorola, the next version will be good!
