I've had my Droid Bionic for about 6 months now, and really enjoy (it is my first true smart phone). Recently the LapDock for the Bionic has been discounted from around $500 to less than $100 (One Deal a Day has it for $89). I picked up one of these things, and it's terrific. Basically, it turns your Bionic into a basic netbook. It has a reasonably nice 11" screen (1368 x 768, i.e. 720p+), a built-in keyboard and touchpad, two USB ports and its own battery (it will charge the Bionic, whether or not plugged in). It has a built-in speaker. It folds up into a tiny, lightweight package that weighs about 2 pounds. The power-supply is tiny and comes with a little nylon bag for carrying.
It comes with Firefox 4, and also lets you run any of your Bionic Android Apps. It works great with Slingbox and movie apps, you can use Google Docs from within Firefox or QuickDocs from the Bionic. It supports and external mouse through the USB port, and even a USB drive.
For $500, I wouldn't have bothered. For sub-$100, I ordered a second one to keep in the car, just in case I find myself in need of some light-duty computing when I don't have my laptop with me.
Here is what it looks like:

Apparently, there's a version (also now heavily discounted) available for the Razr, Atrix2 and a couple of others.
