We will soon have one reason to stay or switch back to AT&T. Verizon may be getting the iPhone on Feb. 10, but AT&T is starting pre-orders for what is probably the best Android phone on Feb. 13: the Motorola Atrix 4G. The new phone is the first of a new generation of dual-core devices that debuted at CES this year. It will be available for $199 with a two-year contract, AT&T announced today. It will be released on March 6.

The Atrix is full of impressive specs. The phone runs on a 1GHz dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, has a 4.0-inch full qHD display (bright, 960×540), 1GB of RAM, HSPA+ 4G support, 5MP rear camera, and 1080p video recording. In addition, the phone’s power button doubles as a biometric fingerprint reader, adding a fun layer of security, should users desire. It currently runs on Android 2.2.

The real unique quality of the Atrix, however, comes with its accessories. The phone can also be bundled with the Motorola Laptop Dock, which turns it into a full-fledged netbook, complete with Firefox and other applications. The bundle will run $499 after a $100 rebate and added tethering plan.

Apple has quietly killed its cheapest iPad

Three 2021 iPads are stacked on a table.

The iPad lineup has received a price bump after Apple quietly killed its cheapest iPad model. Apple’s 9th-generation iPad used to cost $329, but has been discontinued. At the same time, the company has reduced the 10th-gen iPad’s starting price by $100, which means it’s now priced at $349. As a result, getting the cheapest iPad means you'll now spend $20 more than before.

The 9th-gen Apple iPad was launched in 2021 with the A13 chipset and Apple's Center Stage featur,e but retained the same old design with the already-old Lightning port and home button. With Apple moving to a USB-C port on all devices to comply with EU laws, it was inevitable that Apple would discontinue the 9th-gen iPad this year. The iPhone SE remains the only Apple product with a home button and a Lightning port that's still available in the company's lineup.
