AT&T is stepping up their Android game - they already have a decent collection, but now they are adding 5 new droids to their lineup to make the total number of Android offerings 19 by the end of the year.

We'll let this video do the introductions and we'll look at the specs afterwards.

The leader of the pack is the new Motorola Atrix 2. It features a dual-core CPU (which isn't faster than the one in its predecessor, unfortunately), a bigger 4.3" qHD screen, an 8MP camera with 1080p video recording and an HDMI port. The Atrix 2 has 21Mbps HSPA.

There will be a new edition of the trademark laptop dock and the HD docking station.

Here are the rest of the specs:
