Motorola's (NYSE: MMI) Droid 4 hits the shelves this week at Verizon (NYSE: VZ) Wireless stores. With a QWERTY keyboard, government-grade encryption for email, and a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor, the device is being pitched as a powerful tool for business.

The Droid 4 can be plugged into an HDTV, enabling users to make business presentations without a laptop. Used with a docking station--Lapdock 500--and 14-inch display, the phone turns into a mobile office, allowing users to download documents and edit using a full keyboard. The docking station also comes with a webcam for video conferencing. New apps are available to further simplify enterprise mobility.

"Business professionals can leave their laptops behind and use the MotoCast app to remotely stream documents, videos, music and pictures from their work or home computers to their handset. The remote access of MotoCast eliminates the need to store documents on the handset as everything is stored on their office," the company said.

When within Verizon Wireless's 4G LTE mobile broadband footprint, Droid 4 users will get download speeds between 5 and 12 Mbps and upload speeds of 2 to 5 Mbps. The devices features mobile hotspot support for as many as eight Wi-Fi enabled devices.
