It would seem that since Google bought Motorola that promised software updates to Android 4.04 Ice Cream Sandwich would be more than possible. However, Motorola is creating an uproar with customers and also contributing to global warming by denying owners an update that has been promised for months.
Many people who bought top-of-the-line Motorola smartphones a year or less ago are furious and vowing never to buy a Motorola smartphone again. Motorola has updated its Android update page and removed three products from ICS updates.
When the Motorola announced Android Ice Cream Sandwich updates included on the list were many dual-core and high-end smartphones such as the Motorola Atrix 4G , Motorola Photon and Motorola Electrify. The Motorola Photon may have been better named the "Moto Fauxton."
These Atrix and Photon were accessorized with expensive lapdocks or a multimedia dock kit with remote. The Atrix's nom de realty is now "Mo' Accessories Up Ur A-Tricks 4G".
If you go to the Motorola website and look under the Motorola Atrix 4G accessories, the Laptop Dock is gone. It appears that Google wants Motorola to remove any trace of the Laptop Dock that could replace a netbook.
