A previously unseen Motorola Android prototype, which was apparently shown to employees of the company last week. So, what is this thing?
Giz.br editor Pedro accurately describes it as a sort of keyboardless version of the Backflip we saw at CES. The front styling is a bit more garish than the Backflip’s, but the size, general aesthetic, Android build (1.5) and software skin (Motoblur) all fit the Backflip/CLIQ mold. UPDATE: And given the familiar rear styling, we may have a (code)name: The Zeppelin. It’s apparently hitting Brazilian streets within a month—still no word on a US release.
The more pressing question is whether or not we’ll ever see this phone. Motorola’s now pumping Motoblur’d handsets out through two—count ‘em—major US carriers, and as a presumed budget piece, it’d fit nicely in either Verizon or AT&T’s product lines, if they’d have it. But stateside, we’ve got nothing—that the first pics of this prototype device showed up in one of its potential markets, as opposed to its place of manufacture, and that this market is nowhere near the US, means Motorola’s latest may never pass through immigration. Or maybe it will! My breath, it is bated.
Since it looks like GT5’s still another decade or two away from release, racing gamers need everything they can to survive the wait, and this is just about the most creative way we’ve seen to do that. 
The rumored desktop dock for the Nexus One has been made official today — conveniently (and accurately) bearing the official name of Nexus One Desktop Dock — running $45 sold separately or bundled with your phone purchase. As expected, dropping the phone into the dock triggers the Clock application to fire up to give you access to alarms, music, and weather (not unlike the Droid), but the special sauce lies out back where you’ll find a 3.5mm jack that connects to your stereo system using an included 3.5mm-to-RCA cable. A charger’s included to keep the phone topped off while it’s resting in the cradle, too, and considering the presence of Bluetooth here, we’re guessing audio is ferried via A2DP rather than a hardwired connection. Technology! The dock’s available right now for purchase directly from Google.
Still remember the Nokia X6 32GB Come with Music? Nokia today introduced the 16GB model of this handset. Known as the Nokia X6 16GB, the cell phone features a 3.2-inch full touchscreen display in 16:9 ratio (360 x 640 pixels) and 16 million colors. 
Sega is releasing a new application for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch, the Sega Genesis Ultimate Collection, which is basically an emulator for you to play Sega Genesis (Megadrive) games on, and the games will run just like the originals.
MWC is a few weeks away – it starts on February 15 – and we’re expecting to see a new version of Windows Mobile, version 7, to be launched with hardware soon to follow. We’ve heard some rumors about potential improvements over the current 6.x codebase, but a developer has told us that this new version is so distant from the old WinMo that it is almost unrecognizable. The worst part? It is completely non-backwards compatible, meaning all WinMo apps are about go extinct.
