Update for LapDock?

[naknak95]

Is there going to be any updates for the LapDock? I have the 100 and was reading somewhere about specific applications for it. Are there already applications designed for the LapDock? Thanks in advance!

ICS is supposed to have an update to Webtop which is the application used for the lapdock. It's a brand new ui.

Yea, I'm hoping that they would make specific apps for the Lapdock that we can have on the desktop, kind of like a regular Android app, but not in Mobile View mode.

From the look of things via the leak, it appears that they've completely changed Webtop to essentially be a ICS tablet interface. Kind of like the Asus PadFone, but in a laptop rather than a tablet.

Here's a video of the new interface.

He said they got rid of firefox! That would prevent me from upgrading, I need full webtop firefox for work.

The rumor was that they'd be replacing Firefox with Chrome (which would make sense). If it is just running the tablet version of ICS now, I'm wondering if we'll even see any apps specifically for Webtop beyond the normal Android apps. Will it have a desktop-caliber browser like before or just run tablet-apps?

This is a great point. I think the leak we saw was obviously not a final version. They are probably still getting Chrome to run in the webtop, and it will be in the final release.
