"Goodbye, Webtop! We Hardly Knew Ye!"

Webtop

Back in 2010, Motorola unveiled what they hoped would shape the future of mobile computing: the Webtop, which enable its smartphones provide the brain power of a laptop or television entertainment hub.

However, the webtop did not become a hit in the market due to the expensive accessories needed to take full advantage of this technology. It was a matter of time before Motorola quietly pulled out Webtop.
“While consumers around the world have adopted Webtop and the concept spurred a lot of innovation in the industyr, the adoption has not been strong enough to justify continued resources being allocated to developing Webtop on future devices,” quoted Motorola in its official statement on the matter.
This also means that soon-to-launch Motorola smartphones, including the Razr HD and Razr Maxx HD, will not have the Webtop feature.
