The Atrix 4G is a device that is going to be highly focused on accessories. Whether it’s the laptop dock or multimedia dock, the device is not just a cellphone, it’s a mobile computer. And now, according to a listing on Fommy.com, it seems the HD multimedia dock will retail for $59.
Currently only a place-holder page, the $59 price-tag definitely seems like a fitting option for the dock. For $59, you will gain access to 3 USB ports, and a micro HDMI port for HD playback.
Essentially allowing your Atrix to becoming a desktop computer, once docked the phone will push out the new Motorola web top user interface for a true desktop experience. We still do not have a official release date for the Atrix other then “the end of February.” But so far it seems that $150 will be a good price for the device considering all of the accessories everyone will want to buy.

I plan on getting both docks and selling my laptop. I should be able to get about $500 for my laptop and $200 for my phone (nexus one).
What is the screen size on the laptop dock, does anyone know?
It’s 11.6-inches – the same as a smaller MacBook Air. That should make for a very usable notebook alternative, as long as you’re not looking to do heavy-duty video editing, etc.
From our hands-on time with the laptop dock, seen here: http://androidcommunity.com/motorola-atrix-4g-and-laptop-dock-hands-on-20110108/ – we believe it’s about 15 inches. Definitely worth the rumored $150 price-tag
do want
The ATRIX is such an impressive phone with all its possibilities that I don’t know what to do: to keep my beloved Nexus One and buy a tablet as an addition (would be a NotionInk Adam, then) or get rid of the N1, relinquish the Adam and wait for the Moto? As Adam isn’t available anyway at the moment I will have some time to think about what I really want. At least, the Motorola solution would be much more expensive when I would use it as my daily laptop which would be a great thing to do. Let’s wait for some hands-on.
The $59 for the multimedia dock seems to be a fair price to me.
