I had some problems regarding USB on the RPi + lapdock. I bought myself a Tp-Link TL-WN723N wireless (b/g/n) USB adapter to use it with my new "laptop". The problem was that it would not work with the lapdock connected at the same time. If I connected only the wireless dongle, it worked fine. Also, if I connected only the lapdock, it worked OK. When both of them were connected at the same time I got freezes and lots of kernel errors.

Raspberry Pi (modding Atrix Lapdock) - update 17 April 2013
I ordered a Motorola Atrix Lapdock to connect it to my Raspberry Pi. It's fairly cheap thinking about what you get (11.6" 1366x768 screen, USB hub, keyboard, touchpad, battery, charger and a case that hosts all of them).
So, the lapdock has a micro HDMI male connector (type D) and a micro USB male connector. The raspberry has a type A HDMI female connector and a female micro USB connector. I tought of adding a male type A HDMI connector to the lapdock so that I could connect the RPi directly to the lapdock.

Raspberry Pi
What is Raspberry Pi?
I don't think I can say it better than the official FAQ:
I don't think I can say it better than the official FAQ:
"The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It’s a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays high-definition video. We want to see it being used by kids all over the world to learn programming."
