Verizon Wireless and Motorola have jointly launched the Droid Bionic smartphone on the 4G network in the US. It is the first Verizon Wireless smartphone to combine 4G LTE with the power of dual-core 1 GHz processors, 1 GB of RAM and a 4.3-inch qHD display in a sleek form factor that makes it the thinnest 4G LTE smartphone from Verizon Wireless. The handset introduces a host of applications and accessories that turn the device into a multimedia hub. The Droid Bionic introduces ZumoCast by Motorola, an application that lets customers bring their digital world of videos, music, pictures and documents stored on their computers to their handset via remote access. With its Webtop application, the handset can beam a full-featured Firefox Web browser 4.0, email or documents to a TV or monitor, like the separately purchased Lapdock with a 11.6″ screen, keyboard and integrated trackpad.
Accessories such as the HD Station let the Droid Bionic users turn the phone into an entertainment center for home or office. Customers can view pictures, video, and content from the handset on any HDTV or monitor by connecting a separately sold HDMI cable. They can also take a conference call while editing documents and surfing the Web. And, of course, the handset lets customers share their 4G LTE signal with up to five Wi-Fi-enabled devices when they activate the Verizon Wireless Mobile Hotspot.
