Zeppelin was the name of the German company which produced them, and of the Count who founded the company. Blimp is an American name, and refers to non-rigid airships. Dirigible (meaning steerable balloon) is the French word.
It's cool that they've sold one. However, what they've sold is a passenger/tourist novelty ship. It won't get really exciting until they start selling Zeppelins for industrial or technical use.
