Hello All,
I was wondering is there a way to make use of this old Atrix Webtop that I have?
Is there a way to possibly make the keyboard and mouse work and use it to HDMI mirror to it some how?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I am using my old keyboard and mouse from the Atrix and it works great. Samsung has a multimedia dock with mini HDMI out and 3.5mm audio out for $49.99 and they are offering 50% off codes via their facebook page for all accessories. This is the main reason most of the accessories are out of stock on their site.
Samsung Galaxy Universal Multimedia Desktop Dock
There is also the allshare receiver and smart dock on the website but those are $99 each before the discount.

Sounds good to me. So far, all price leaks regarding the Atrix have been really interesting (150$ for the laptop, 150$ for the phone with 2 yr contract in US, probably similar with 3yr in Canada, and now these reasonably priced docks).
i wonder if you HAVE to use the docking station with a screen, or does that just give you the remote control capability?
Surely I will just be able to plug in via HDMI and play movies, music, pictures etc? Seems odd that you need a special box for it. Possibly more comfortable, thats all.
Maybe someone will invent a wifi based remote control...?
Its logical, that if you have miniHDMI port, you dont need anything else (also check this thread someone said about video output).
I think that the Standart Dock is just for charging and easier connecting Atrix to TV (normal HDMI port) and with HD Dock you can also connect some USB devices like mouse or keyboard.
And most important you get nice stand for your Motorola
If there's only a $10 difference I may just get two multimedia docks. One to keep connected to my TV and the other next to my bed.
that hd dock looks great, I really want one for my Atrix ( when I will buy it ). And that other dock, it doesn't have remote control, right?
latest word is the dock is going to cost upwards of $500.
AT&T has announced pricing for the Android smartphone, which will run $199.99 when you sign up for a 2-year contract, but it will cost $499.99 to purchase the docking station that effectively turns the phone into a laptop computer. That means the docking station will be about twice as expensive as we’d been hearing… and it will cost even more if you don’t buy the Webtop at the same time as the phone. Oh yeah, you’ll also have to pay for a tethering add-on in addition to your smartphone data plan.
The dock will run $499.99 if purchased separately.

That's the laptop dock. The HD Multimedia Dock will be "only" $189 with a keyboard, mouse, and remote.

Love the "only"... That has to be a crazy keyboard and mouse...
HD dock is $130 or so. Screw that. Just run the HDMI cable straight to the TV from the phone, and use a bluetooth keyboard/mouse, no need for the USB port.
I ordered the multimedia dock bundle because I get 40% off accessories through the at&t premier website. $117 isn't so bad for everything you get. The laptop dock was not fiscountable but the price of that was not worth discount or none IMO. If I don't like the multimedia dock I have 14 days to return it... so here's hoping I like it.

According to this video on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8sN3DnKaKM if you only plug in the HDMI cable there is no Webtop button. The guy says when you plug in just an HDMI cable there are two modes "Entertainment mode, and the do nothing mode"
So I guess they figured out a way for the phone to identify when it is using one of the docks.
I would like a standard dock that just holds the phone and maybe allows for charging; im definitely thinkinng of the standard dock though.
Using this in class to take notes is something taht is really excitint; im using an ipad right now and i love it, but sometimes I dont want to throw at ithe bag and set it up just to take a few notes.
Good day.
My home stereo has ability to connect ipod and it is very useful to control it remote.
I wonder if there any chance to connect my sgs II to stereo by iphone cable (with software and hardware hack). Or if it is impossible then buy a dock, but it is very important that dock has a remote control (irda).
Somebody have any ideas?
Thank you.

Almost cheaper to buy a new monitor, and I'm not 100% sure it will work.
Linky thingy.

Ruggedized case now sold sold to PatriotXT92
Item received! Kit is in excellent condition still all wrapped up as new for my unboxing pleasure Also included were some screen protectors and a case, above and beyond, very chuffed, thanks again Ronak.
Re usage, you can get vga converters for about £50
amazon.co.uk/HDfury-1080P-HDMI-Converter-Transcoder/dp/B000SOPWS8
This is dvi to vga but you can get a dvi to hdmi connector for a couple of quid. But yeh a hdmi enabled monitor is about £75 now, and whether a converter would even work or not i dont know. Would be great to have a way for sneaky full screen web browsing on my vga monitor at work...
Just thinking I would give a heads up to anyone who might want the standard dock.

I am thinking of picking up the Multimedia package AT&T has on sale for $99. It includes the dock, and a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Also have a 25% coupon for accessories that I got in the mail from AT&T. And another plus is that I am sure this combo will work on my PS3 too.
All options seem to have a huge lip of leather coming off the bottom portion right under the touchpad, or need a kickstand for support which is not practical on your lap.
Any suggestions?
I bought a Motorola KZ-450 combo keyboard/trackpad that's got a protective cover that turns into a stand about two years ago on one of those "Deal A Day" sites for $30 or $45. I keep it in one of those generic cloth 10" tablet pouches along with my Note.
My only regret with it? Not buying two at that price- it's been pretty much perfect for me, and I use it to bang out E-mails when I'm flying.
Any other options out there with a trackpad? The motorola doesn't seem to be available in the UK
Been looking for something similar myself.
All I've been able to find are touchpad based solutions...not that practical
I was looking for the same until I ordered this today: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I describe why that one won out of the 100s of keyboards I was checking for certain features (priority, quick switch, multi-device pairing, lower priority, trackpad). Not only does it have both of those, but also a built in IR (learning) remote! Check out my post in the other keyboard topic on this page, where I describe it a bit more. Hope that one appeals to you!

My bad, thanks for letting me know http://www.amazon.com/Ultrathin-Wireless-Bluetooth-Programmable-Rechargeable/dp/B00EZL1N6U

I use the Logitech K410. Perfect and not too pricey.
sorry for the bump but... does k410 works via bluetooth ot you use the USB dongle with a cable?

I wasn't part of this thread, but I hvae used logitech products with my android devices that were meant for windows. I have my Trackball M570 and one of my wireless K800 keyboard both connected to the same wireless dongle. When I want to use them with my Note 10.1 2014, I plug wireless receiver dongle into an adapter, like this OTG cable: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GM0OZ4O/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So, it connects wirelessly as it would to the pc, not via bluetooth.
Only other thing to note is, the apps Logitech has for Android keyboards will not work with things like the k800.
There are miniaturized keyboards with touch pads and often a remote control on the other side for smart tvs. But these are wifi based, maybe additionally with bluetooth. Or there's some wireless remote(the wifi ,not IR kind) or wifi keyboard driver/app for Android.
I found this one
http://www.amazon.it/LEICKE®-Sharon...kmr0&keywords=tastiera+touchpad+note+10.1+014
It's very cool, but they don't sell a version with Italian layout (And the keyboard is not attached to the cover, but you can fix it with some glue XD)
Do you know something similar sold with different layouts?
