Motorola Droid Bionic has dual core processor, Android OS, 4G LTE speed, and a new lower retail price of only $119

The Motorola Droid Bionic 4G Android smartphone is the first handset with a dual core processing chip set to arrive on Verizon’s 4G LTE wireless broadband network. If you bear in mind that the first phone on the Verizon 4G LTE (the HTC Thunderbolt) set upload and download speed records with a single core processor, you understand the implications of this first marriage between a dual core processor and the Verizon 4G LTE. Motorola also chose a processor and software set for the Droid Bionic so that it could effectively mimic the processing equipment in a desktop or entry-level laptop PC. Accordingly, Motorola’s WebTop docking station allows the Droid Bionic to effectively access an HDMI-out port and three additional USB ports. Using those USB ports to hook up a computer monitor, keyboard and mouse delivers entry-level desktop functionality to the Droid Bionic 4G handset. The same PC functionality is given to the Motorola Droid Bionic when it is docked into the Lapdock laptop docking station which provides 8 hours of additional battery run time and an 11.6 inch laptop display. When used as a desktop or laptop PC, a fully functional Mozilla Firefox web browser is employed. The processing and software set that Motorola uses to power not only its multitasking and multimedia requests as a smartphone, but also this PC functionality, consists of one gigabyte of RAM memory, 2 GB of ROM memory, and a dual core 1 GHz ARM Cortex A9 processor, along with a ULP GeForce GPU and Tegra 2 AP20H chip set. 16 GB of storage space is also built in, with the ability to upgrade to 32 GB when employing the built-in microSD slot. Motorola has added a 4.3 inch capacitive touch screen display which supports 16 million colors, and delivers 540 x 960 pixel resolution. Anything on that display can also be mirrored to a big screen HDTV or monitor via the HDMI port, or wireless DLNA technology built into the handset. 10.83 hours of continuous talk time is well ahead of the 4G average of 8 hours, and social applications Facebook, Photobucket, Picasa, Twitter and YouTube are preloaded into the handset. The Motorola Droid Bionic 4G Android smartphone is available exclusively on the Verizon 4G LTE network for a retail price of $119.99 with a two-year activation.
