Motorola Webtop (d)evolves into Android 4.0 tablet mode?
Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha told us a "much smoother and much more integrated" Webtop was in the works back in January, and today we might be getting our first peek thanks to a YouTube vid... only this new Webtop is a far cry from the alternative dock-activated OS that typically ships with Motorola's phones. Allegedly included with a leaked build of Android 4.0 for the Droid Razr, the "Webtop 3.0 Beta" in the video below isn't really a desktop operating system anymore, and there's no Mozilla Firefox to be found. Instead, it looks just like Android 4.0 normally does on a tablet screen.
Assuming the video and software are legit, perhaps you'll just get a larger screen resolution and a landscape-friendly orientation when you connect your phone, or perhaps apps will run in their tablet modes as well, but either way it seems a lot more like basic Android than something special. We've no love lost for Webtop's current iteration, and this could be far more useful, but now that we're dreaming of having a full version of Ubuntu Linux when we dock our smartphone, this seems a little lackluster by comparison.
