We’ve seen Motorola’s next Android/motoblur handset, the Zeppelin, pop up in Brazil and China, but have yet to hear anything about a North American launch. Well, rumour has it that not only does this mobile support T-Mobile’s AWS bands, but it’s apparently coming out on March 10. There aren’t any documents or pictures to support this, so take it all with a grain of salt.
We’re expecting to see the Zeppelin lumber in at Mobile World Congress in the next couple of weeks, festooned with a 3.1” HVGA display, Wi-Fi, GPS, HDMI out, 3.5 mm headphone jack and Motorola’s custom user interface focussing on social networking. The cliq, devour, and Backflip, are all using motoblur already, although Motorola hasn’t been shy about using stock vanilla Android on the droid and motoroi. It’s still hard to say what that motosplit is running, presuming it’s actually real.
If T-Mobile U.S. does get the Zeppelin at MWC, we would expect that given the locale, T-Mobile carriers across Europe would also be riding along for the launch. The droid really paved the way for Motorola’s American Android attack, but I’m curious how well the platform is performing for Moto internationally, and if the Zeppelin will be their flagship for the “everywhere-but-the-U.S.” market.
