What you are looking at is the first Windows Phone 7 device to show up in Pakistan, of all places. The device has a serial number on top and a “powered by ASUS” branding on the bottom, so it is likely a pre-production model. The phone apparently belongs to the leakster’s brother, who maybe works for ASUS.

There’s brushed metal on the front and the top right corner looks like it might be housing a front-facing camera, also the display looks like an OLED panel.

Yesterday we saw some images of what is supposed to be an iPhone touch 4 mockup and case surface. Today we see some new shots of what it supposed to be the screen for the next iPod touch.

The images come from MacRumors and the site claims to have received the images from an Apple supplier. The screen clearly shows the hole needed for a front facing camera.

Dish Network and DirecTV are the two satellite providers that are available for most of us in the US. The two companies have offered DVR scheduler apps for smartphones for a while now that let you control the DVR from anywhere.

Dish Network has announced that it has released the world’s first DVR controller application that is designed specifically for the iPad called Dish Remote Access. The app lets the iPad user have full control over any DVR in the home from anywhere with a web connection.

There are all sorts of reasons you might need to record the goings on outside your home. Maybe you have an annoying neighbor that lets their dog crap on your yard or maybe neighborhood kids keep ringing your doorbell at 2am.

What you need in instances like this is a camera like the Swan Security OutbackCam. The camera is a self-contained security device that can record video to an integrated DVR. The camera has a 2MP resolution and can record color or B&W still shots and video.

There are more styles of flash drives on the market than you can shake a stick at. Some of them are weird too. I have seen flash drives that look like food and all manner of other weird designs.

These Flash Rods flash drives are cool and very interesting. The things are handmade and start life as a Hot Wheels car you might collect or your kid might play with.

According to FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, any FCC policy on net neutrality that emerges will supersede any pre-existing arrangements by companies. This is alluding to the speculated deal between Verizon Wireless and Google. According to Genachowski, “Any outcome, any deal that doesn’t preserve the freedom and openness of the Internet for consumers and entrepreneurs will be unacceptable.”

Sounds good to us, but the FCC Chairman did not go into details if the FCC policy would include wireless or if such policy would only govern the Internet on PC and landlines.

Apparently the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 will be hitting U.S shores soon as AT&T is gearing up to launch the Android 1.6 device. According to AT&T’s system, the X10 will cost phone retailers $345 per device though it’s unclear what the unsubsidized and subsidized prices will be.

The launch date is said to be between mid-August and mid-July. Also launching in the same timeframe will be the Samsung Eternity II. So, call Doc Brown and get ready to travel back in time with Android 1.6.

Google and Verizon are discussing a partnership(Made in hell) that could result in American internet freedom taking a few backward steps and destroying net neutrality as we know it. This would go against all that Google and Verizon have stated in the past about keeping the net neutral and open to ‘ensure the openness of the web around the world.’

The agreement could give Verizon the ability to do whatever it wants when it comes to managing wireless broadband, through mobile hotspots or Android handsets.

At last Batman fans, the sequel to the popular Batman Arkham Asylum has just been announced and it will be called Batman Arkham City. It will be available for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in the fall of 2011. The game is being developed by Rocksteady Studios, Warner Bros Interactive and DC entertainment, and it will be set in Gotham’s new maximum security prison.

With the new Arkham in the city it should make for some interesting game scenarios, allowing even more characters to show up, so that you can bring them down.

Europeans looking for a little multi-touch action should look Acer’s way. Acer has announced the availability of their new T231H multi-touch monitor in Europe. This was first seen back at Computex 2010, which seems like a lifetime ago.

The 23-inch monitor offers 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 80,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 2ms response time and sports both DVI and HDMI connectors. The monitor also uses Adaptive Contrast Management (ACM) technology, which can dynamically adjust the contrast of the screen to enhance the sharpness of the images.

The Netronix PocketBook 602 e-book reader has been approved by the FCC, like a freshly born child smacked on the butt and sent on it’s way. That means that this eReader will be available in the US market very soon.

The device features a 6-inch e-Ink display with a 532MHz Freescale ARM11 processor, optional Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G/3.5G wireless data and a customized Linux OS. The Netronix PocketBook 602 also supports PDF, ePUB, FB2, HTML, TXT, PRC, MOBI, RTF, DOC, JPG, and MP3 file formats. It looks pretty good in black.

It makes us sad to see consoles like this. I can only thank god that my own PS3 is still pristine and unburnt. Let’s bow our heads in silence for a moment.

Yes, this is what a PlayStation 3 looks like after a fire. Sniff. I promised myself I wouldn’t cry. No gamer should ever have to go through this. What kind of sick world would do this to a console? Everyone raise your PS3 controller high and hit the X button in a mock 21 gun salute.

Pictures of a so-called protective case for the upcoming iPod touch have surfaced, and if they’re on the level, it would seem to confirm that the next-generation iPod touch will sport a camera, and maybe a built-in flash too, like the iPhone 4.

Take this with a grain of salt. Until Apple confirms it, nothing is certain, but remember that we’ve heard talk of a camera on the iPod touch before. Several times in fact.
