Confirmed what we already knew a month ago.

The Atrix HD is missing from their note:

Unfortunately, the execution wasn't so smooth and sales were disappointing. Motorola, a unit of Google, said today that adoption wasn't strong enough to justify devoting more resources to the project. Webtop will no longer appear on phones, starting with the Photon Q, Droid Razr M, Droid Razr HD, and Droid Razr Maxx HD.

ICS made Webtop much more user-friendly.

Yes, but they broke several things on the laptop dock while they fixed other things. Even the home screen is broken- icons don't display correctly. At least I only paid 70 something for it.

I don't recall any broken icons in the default home screen of Webtop 3.0. Could you elaborate?

Running on .232 webtop with the laptop dock, only a handfull of icons display on the homescreen. Had to use the app drawer to launch pretty much anything. Will post a photo if I have time.

So, when ICS rolls out, what happens when I attach my Bionic to the Dock?

It's a new homescreen. Were you expecting the icons you set on your phone homescreens to show up in the Webtop homescreens?

Webtop 3.0 will launch, giving you ICS tablet mode.

Webtop is not offered on the newer phones.
