My thoughts on the future of Motorola Webtop and ICS

[Scary Guy]

I still love webtop, however with ICS I think it's going to change a bit. Since ICS is a combination of phone and tablet interfaces I think plugging in your phone to either the lapdock or a TV/monitor will go from the small phone to the larger tablet display.

I'd also like to see this on more phones as well.

Anyone have any thoughts or comments?

Webtop

While the idea is awesome, I think Mootoo will continually screw it up and keep it totally dependent on their architecture rendering it useless except for remedial work. Now if Google/Android were to pick this up and run with it, that would be a totally different story.

Kinda funny that when I "want" Google to get more hands on (with Motorola) they are busy sitting in the background and IMO making my Gmail more ugly with their time...

Gotta agree with you there. Why the hell do they feel the need to screw with what works? I have to wonder if they ever actually ask any users what they want at all.
I see no benefit whatsoever to the new interface/layout, just another thing to have to get used to. And yes, it is ugly.

It loads much much faster. The javascript is lighter. Yes definitely more ugly.

Odd idea but here goes. Has anyone thought of trying out androidx86 on the webtop?

Much like a custom debian/ubuntu install would work. I mean it's not just for x86 processors as they have a Tegra2 ICS build out now.

I unfortunately don't know enough to do this myself.

I'm gonna go read up on this androidx86 thing sounds very interesting
