Motorola Mobility's Webtop concept, which enabled its phones to act as the brains of a laptop or television entertainment hub, has quietly been killed off according to cnet.


Webtop was software that allowed a Motorola smartphone, like the Atrix 4G for AT&T, to be docked in to a special laptop accessory and run with some computer functionality such as the browser. When it was unveiled, many had called it the future of mobile computing.


Unfortunately, the execution wasn't so smooth and sales were disappointing. Motorola, one of Google, said today that adoption wasn't sufficiently strong to justify devoting more resources for the project. Webtop will no longer be visible on phones, starting with the Photon Q, Droid Razr M, Droid Razr HD, and Droid Razr Maxx HD.


Full statement below:


Motorola's Webtop app helps users extend their smartphone experience to larger screens. While consumers around the world have adopted Webtop and the concept spurred a lot of innovation in the industry, the adoption has not been strong enough to justify continued resources being allocated to developing Webtop on future devices. We have also seen development of the Android operating system focus on the inclusion of more desktoplike features. Beginning with Photon Q and Droid Razr M/Droid Razr HD/Droid Razr Maxx HD, we will no longer be including Webtop on our products moving forward.

Would you like a silver Motorola Droid? I wouldn't get one myself, but as we have told you that there's another motorola android device that coming into the market, it's named as we've told you is Motorola "Calgary".

 

Someone at BGR was able to obtain a picture of the silver Motorola "Calgary". The device has Wi-Fi, GPS, a 1420mAh battery, but unfortunately no SIM card slot as it is not a global device. No hope for those who wants to bring it overseas

If you own a Motorola Droid and you haven't noticed there was a problem with AutoFocus, then you may skip this blog.  Apparently, Android had a small software issue with the Autofucus feature on the Droid.  Some claimed that a software update was secreted pushed to the Droid without our knowledge, but no one can really confirm this.

I basically did my own testing and realized, the auto-fucus features seem to work fine now.  See above and before and after pictures.
