Motorola obviously are expanding their Android portfolio in all directions with China being one of them. The leaked images of a prototype called Zeppelin show a full touch phone with a 5 megapixel camera and dual mode dual SIM networking.

The new Motorola Zeppelin appeared on a Chinese (what else) website and show some intriguing features. The Zeppelin is supposed to have a 3.1-inch touchscreen with 480 x 320 pixel resolution, 5 megapixel snapper with LED flash, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, HSPA capabilities, FM radio and HDMI output.

If the specs sheet looks pretty standard to you, except for the HDMI part, of course, you may reconsider when you learn that Motorola Zeppelin will pack two SIM slots – one for the GSM and another for the CDMA network (if SIMs what they’re using anyway).

The rumor points to Q1 2010 as expected release date, but the Zeppelin is expected to hit only China. Sorry folks!

After numerous leaks over the past several months BlackBerry finally got round to officially announcing the Curve 8520. The mid-range handset will be the first in the RIM family to support Mac OS syncing straight out of the box.

BlackBerry Curve 8520 is the first RIM device that will be able to sync iTunes playlists, personal info, organizer memos etc. with Mac-running computers. The release of the new version of the BlackBerry Desktop Manager in September will enable that kind of functionality for the rest of the company’s product line.

Specswise the BlackBerry Curve 8520 fares decently with the missing 3G connectivity being the only major letdown.

The QWERTY-enabled 8520 packs a 65K-color landscape QVGA TFT display. It has quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support as well as Wi-Fi connectivity and a built-in GPS receiver. A 2 megapixel snapper, Bluetooth and USB complete the list of noteworthy features.

As we already wrote the handset will be available through T-Mobile, starting from August 5. Vodafone UK should also be getting it soon. Unfortunately there is still no information regarding its pricing or its eventual availability with other carriers.

I have pointed out on many things of the terrible augmented reality, and this Zapparel is something that is a long time coming.

It is the hybrid creation Zappar and clothing, and there is a video after the jump to see how it works. I highly recommend watching because it seems to be very careful.

There are 20 different T-shirts, and that there should be more coming out if this is a success. I am not sure if people are willing to stand still for an another scans them with an iPhone or Android device, but the video shows that the results are worth!

You can see in the video that there is a man of space with arms that shoot UFO robot. If it is just the fact that a design or model, and then I look forward to see what are the other 19. This that I know if the man wearing the T-shirt Zapparel has maintained it all the time. If he left, would be an instant game on?

Zapparel is scheduled to be launched exclusively to International Fashion Expo, magic in Las Vegas on 22-24 August. The app is free on Android market and iTunes places.
