The Android-powered Motorola Zeppelin breaks cover in China

/a>
And here we have another Motorola phone powered by Android. This little bugger was spotted over in China and claims to be the world’s first Android GSM/CDMA phone whenever it launches. The Zeppelin is said to pack the standard Motorola Android kit with a 5MP camera, 802.11 b/g, GPS, Bluetooth, a 3.1-inch 320×480 touchscreen, plus an FM radio and HDMI output. It’s just too bad that we can’t see the front side.

Motorola’s Zeppelin spotted, found to contain Android rather than hydrogen

Last week’s blurry little roadmap from Motorola gave us our first glimpse of the codename Zeppelin, and now just a few days later the thing has floated its way into the hands of someone at DIGI.QQ.com, a person kind enough to take pictures of the side, back, and inside — despite skipped the all important full-frontal shot. This Android-powered handset is said to sport a five megapixel camera with flash, WiFi, a 3.1-inch 480 x 320 screen, HDMI output, and, a first for Android, dual SIM slots for for GSM and CDMA support. Rumor has it release will come first in China, sometime in the first quarter of next year, with worldwide shipments sometime later. Sure, that’s a long time to wait if your contract expiration is nigh, but we hear that Droid thing is pretty neat.

Purported Motorola roadmap uncovers Sholes Tablet, Motus and other mythical mysteries

Okay folks, this is the moment where hauling a spoonful of NaCl down the chute would be highly recommended. DialAPhone seems to have unearthed what looks like a Q4 2009 – Q1 2010 Motorola roadmap, and while the finds are certainly intriguing, we’re still hesitant to believe this thing is legit. For starters, this is obviously a European plan, so what we’re viewing here may never make the tedious journey across the pond anyway. Secondly, how many of you honestly believe Moto’s cooking up a Sholes Tablet? Exactly. That said, we’d be the first to drool should that device (or the Motus and / or Zeppelin) launch early next year, and you can bet your bottom dollar that we’ll be scraping the floor for details when CES kicks off in just a few months.

B&W’s $400 Zeppelin Mini iPod sound system up for pre-order, ships next month

Bowers & Wilkins has never been one to play the bargain game, and the $399.95 price tag on its new Zeppelin Mini is evidence of that very fact. The somewhat miniaturized iPod sound system is up for pre-order as we speak on Amazon, and we’ve heard directly from the company that it’ll be shipping out to US-based consumers in “early November.” So, is a flashy design, a pair of 3-inch drivers, 3.5 millimeter auxiliary input jack, USB 2.0 port and a promise of a better tomorrow enough to pry those four Benjamins out of your hand?
