This Motorola prototyle, codenamed The Zeppelin is an Android v1.5 powered budget phone

After finding success with the Google Android-powered Motorola Droid, the company seems to be expanding its Android-based portfolio quickly. Here we have another prototype from Motorola running Google Android, this one was spotted in Brazil. Before we explore the Zeppelin a bit more, a point to note - the same phone was also spotted in China a while back. So we do know one thing for sure - it likes to travel!

The Motorola Zeppelin is sans keyboard and runs on Google Android version 1.5. Apparently, this phone is also equipped with Moto Blur - Motorola's software that weaves all social media threads into one tapestry of conversations; via a pretty interface, of course. The Zeppelin is also equipped with a 5-megapixel camera (nowadays common in most smartphones). The phone resembles the Motorola BackFlip which was showcased at the CES but without a keyboard. It has a glossy finish at the back and looks sleek, somewhat resembling the Google Nexus One.

If rumors are to be believed, the Zeppelin is all set to hit the markets in less then four weeks and while its pricing is still unknown it is rumored to be easy on the wallet.
