Before I hook my phone up to the lapdock, I run the Task Manager and end all non-essential tasks which gets me to around 50-60% on the phone after launching Webtop.
I try not to have too many Firefox tabs open and every ten minutes or so, I'm checking usage.
This is why I can't recommend the current Webtop experience to any non-techie.
I sure hope when the DROID Bionic gets ICS, that they switch to ICS tablet mode as seen in the DROID RAZR Webtop 3.0-beta leak.
On the buggy side, anyone else notice the keyboard mapping is off for > and < ?

Killed some tasks before connecting right now - Bionic was at 56%.

I usually see the Bionic memory at about 66% and Firefox about like you're experiencing. I find I can run all day long if I just have one Firefox window open - if I have two I might get the memory message after a bit, and if more than that I will for sure. For what I do with it just using a single window works just fine, but if I really wanted to use more tabs I would be a little grumpy...

When ICS comes to the Bionic, I really hope it has Webtop 3.0. This should help out a lot - instead of running a Webtop App, everything will be native.
I just got my converted Atrix dock working, and I'm loving it. No, it's not as powerful as a full computer. It's plenty good for the majority of the "computer" work I do which is mostly internet based.
I haven't had to pull my laptop out all evening, I've been using the dock instead. Perfect!

Anyone know if the dock has to be removed from carry on luggage at the airport or can it just go through xray? (just wondering since it isn't a laptop.)
Thanks.
Thanks.
The TSA doesn't know the difference between a terrorist and a two year old. You think they're going to know the difference between a laptop and a lapdock?
Last time I flew I was wearing Vibram Fivefinger shoes (the shoes that look like footgloves) and I still had to take them off. So yeah, expect to remove it going through security.

They say to remove all large electronic devices so I'd say it's safe to assume that would include the lapdock.

Just a few more notes on productivity. I attended a multi-day conference last week where several speakers presented material and via lecture and powerpoint.
The organizers gave USB thumbdrives with all the presentations on them for the week, but of course the speakers notes were not included. I uploaded the presentations to my Google Drive account and was able to open them on the lapdock during the presentations. I had a copy of the presentation open, along with another blank document. I'd switch between the two, taking notes on what the speaker was presenting and adding it either to the presentation, or to my blank notes page depending on what it was. The dock got me through presentations from 0730 each morning through til about 4:00pm each day. I'd usually have about 20-40% battery left and of course my phone was 100% charged.
I set the dock up on my nightstand in the hotel each evening as well, with the lid closed and the phone in bedside mode. This worked wonderfully as I had to unplug the hotel clock to get a free outlet to charge things up, but kept my phone near the bedside for calls and use as my alarm.
I also used it to watch Hulu each night to keep up with my TV I was missing while away. All in all I'm very happy with it as both a productivity and entertainment accessory. I even did my work on the dock since the hotel charged $14.99 per night to connect to their wi-fi. I only used my full laptop for a total of about 6 minutes during the entire 4 days.

Just got mine on sale for 50 bucks at Verizon. I wanted it when I got my phone but couldn't justify paying another 300 bucks back then. Looks like I was missing out! It's got its quirks but it's a fun addition to my phone.

I really hope we get Webtop 3.0 with ICS.
