Lapdock for other phones

[Numbaonei]

I was just reading about the droid bionic and kinda pondered if it will get a lapdock as well n turns out it will. I then looked at my laptop dock and I examined the phone dock area and I realized u can just change the face cover to fit any other phone moto plans. Pulls right off. Just thought id share it.

The atrix and bionic may be able to swap the same lapdock - however, not ANY moto phone will have that capability... only those including the webtop app and have the ports in the right location... Just cuz you may be able to fit a 496 big block in a civic, doesnt mean its gonna work - crude analogy, but the principle is what im getting at. Just cuz it fits, doesnt mean it will work.

Hmm yea that makes sense. I hope they do tho since I purchased it lol. Would love to get a newer model down the line n still keep my laptop dock.

Technicalle, that removable thingie is supposed to allow u to rit the atrix with a case, but I do supposed you may be able to fit other models. The photon may not be the case , since its LONGER, not THICKER... but well know when they get here.

I, for one , would like to see a better lapdock, with better viewing angles , multitouch trackpad , able to tilt the screen further back.

A friend of mine is thinking about the Photon and he seemed to think that it would be able to use the Atrix's lapdock.

Although the ports are in the wrong place so I don't see how that would work.

wont work, already been said by a preview of the phone. the ports are ontop of the phone instead of on bottom like ours. i would much rather have the photon though, even though its on CDMA which i will never been on anytime soon lol

There's no real reason an adapter set could not be made though. Micro USB and Micro HDMI extensions are all thats needed. Maybe not pretty, but should function.

Actually I am right. New pics of the bionic appeared and they look very similar to the atrix. The hdmi n micro port r in the same spot as the atrix not on top like some1 mentioned. Link

they were talking about the photon having ports on top, not the droid bionic.

EDIT: by the way, if you look at the pics in that link, the ports appear to be upside down compared to the atrix, meaning they will NOT fit even if it was the same distance apart.

The fun part is finding the mini female hdmi port.
