A year ago Motorola announced their dock concept that would be intergraded with their smartphone.  The attachment got great reviews, the problem was I dont think Motorola noticed the tablet boom that was occurring. Now Motorola decided to kill off the dock. Great idea bad timing

In addition, Motorola said that Webtop would increasingly be redundant as the Android operating system began to include more desktoplike features.
Phonenews.com had last month reported that Motorola was killing off Webtop at Google’s behest, citing unnamed sources.
The laptop dock was a key standout feature when Motorola unveiled its flagship Atrix 4G smartphone at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2011. It helped the company differentiate its products from the sea of other Android phones that debuted at the show.
The idea was a critical hit, and some, including CNET’s Jason Hiner, believed it was a potential weapon Android could use to bridge the gap between the PC and mobile worlds.
When it was about to launch, Motorola and AT&T executives talked about the potential the device had to run in the office, and replace the need for a laptop for road warriors.
But its initial momentum was halted when AT&T and Motorola priced the phone and laptop dock for $500, an eyebrow-raising price tag that had many pausing and reconsidering the potential of such a device. While later devices continued to run with Webtop and their own laptop dock accessory, the excitement had largely disappeared.
In addition, the early version was slow and didn’t offer the greatest experience, though Motorola would later improve the software. Prior to the takeover, Webtop was one of former CEO Sanjay Jha’s favorite projects to talk about.
