3 months agoThe Motorola Atrix 4G had a Desktop Mode (Webtop was its name and it was Ubuntu based) in 2011 before Samsung. They even released a cradle dock, that you could connect to a tv or monitor, and a laptop dock for it and the source code on Sourceforge (my guess is to be GPL compliant).
I got that phone specifically for the desktop mode. It had a full blown Firefox browser installed and you could run your apps along side it.
I was blown away and thought, “This is the future for computers” but I was incredibly wrong. After the short honeymoon period i found it to be sluggish and clunky when using an android app. The hardware although phenomenal for a phone couldn’t provide an optimal experience for a desktop.
Oh boy I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the creator of “Dennis the Menance” is… Well he’s a bastard.
Here’s a link to the first Behind The Bastards episode on him: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/part-one-the-dennis-the-menace-160239382/
