Motorola (New York Stock Exchange: MOT)’s next Android, computer code-named Zeppelin, whitethorn be unveiled at the Mobile World United States Congress next month in Barcelona. The Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin package includes a 3.1” HVGA display, Wi-Fi, GPS, HDMI out, 3.5mm headphone jackass, and 5 megapixel photographic camera with flash, all surrounding a juicy sum of Android, wrapped in a thick bed of motoblur. This picture looks distinctly different than what we saw of the Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin in PRC, but either there volition be some case changes depending on where it’s launching, or Moto’s gone with a new look since those initial models. MWC is obviously focused on European wireless, but there were rumours that the Zeppelin would be advent to the U.S., and could be a nice choice for those who were looking for something a little drum sander than the droid.

The federal government has officially banned American English truckers and bus drivers from texting while drive. US Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said that the new practice of law takes effect immediately. So, you can thrust with a little more peace of head, starting today.

The new practice of law is aimed at persuading fleets of the scariest vehicles on the route to thrust safer. Drivers that prison-breaking the new law (and get caught) will facing fines of up to $2,750 for each offense. The fine is significantly greater than that levied against small vehicle motorists in states where texting and driving is prohibited. It makes sense, though, because bigger vehicles pose a greater danger to other drivers. With some 200,000 accidents a class estimated to be caused by texting, it’s sobering to think how many of those could be big-rig trucks and buses.

Do you tactile property safer knowing that truck and jitney drivers have been banned from texting? A draw of motorists ar simply ignoring their state’s texting and drive laws anyway.
