Aside from the Samsung Captivate–a Galaxy S device–AT&T has been slow on the uptake when it comes to attaining serious Android contenders, but all of that changed today with the Announcement of the Motorola Atrix 4G, ready to rock AT&T’s HSPA+ network. The gadget features Android 2.2 (upgradable to 2.3), a dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB internal storage, and a 1930mAh battery. It certainly won’t be the only next-gen dual-core superphone on the block by the time CES 2011 is over, but at least AT&T is ready to play in the Android big leagues. Lets just hope they don’t cripple the software, as they’ve been known to do in the past.

Atrix pairs up with a laptop dock that offers a larger display, and an HD dock for video output.

UPDATE: HTC’s Inspire will further bolster AT&T’s previously weak Android line-up. More to come…
