The CES is over. And while all the focus at the worlds top tech show might have been on the new tablets,Las Vegas also got to see a glimpse of what could be the worlds smartest phone or at least the fastest smartphone.

For starters,the Motorola Atrix 4G has dual core processing power,making it the most powerful smartphone ever. In fact,the Android 2.2 device is powered by NVIDIA Tegra 2 1 GHz dual-core processor AP20H and has 1 GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory. All this is good enough for Motorola to announce a laptop dock for the phone,so that you can use the device to fire up a full-fledged computer.

So if you get bored of the 540 × 960 4-inch multi-touch LCD gorilla on the phone,you can shift to the 11.6-inch laptop and harness all the computing power of the Atrix for a larger browsing experience. The phone also has a VGA front facing camera,a 5MP camera that can record video back to 720p,and a proximity sensor for auto-off.

But if the playback on the phone is not large enough for you,there is always the HD Multimedia Dock with a Standard HDMI port and room for up to three USB devices so that you can watch your movies in a larger screen. If that wasnt enough,there is a car dock so that you can make full use of MotoNav while driving and maybe even make a few calls on the sly.

Further details are awaited,but the Atrix is expected to hit the stores in the US in the first quarter of 2011.
