There’s something beautiful about a destroyed Apple product. Michael Tompert and photographer Paul Fairchild must think so too since they thought it would be a good idea to destroy a range of Apple products, and they photograph them.

Some of the products used include and iPad and iPhone. I guess it really compliments the product if it is beautiful both intact and destroyed. You can see the rest of the photos of the destroyed Apple products over at Fubiz.

LG has announced that its Windows Phone 7 for the U.S. market, the LG Quantum, is now available through AT&T stores. To refresh your memory, the LG Quantum features a landscape-oriented sliding QWERTY keyboard with a 3.5-inch display. The device is powered by a 1 GHz processor.

Other specs include 16 GB of memory, and access to Windows Phone Marketplace for downloading apps. It launches with 10 free apps on board already. Since it is a Windows Phone 7 device, there’s also Live Tiles and Hubs. It will cost you $199.99 on a two-year contract through AT&T’s stores or through AT&T’s website.

If you are seriously a weather nut, you’ll want to check out the Ambient Weather WS-1090 Wireless Home Weather Station. It’s a compact, easy to install, complete wireless (915 MHz) home weather station with impressive reliability at a low cost.

The WS-1080 weather station will measure wind speed, wind direction, temperature and humidity (both inside and outside), rainfall and barometric pressure. It also calculates dew point and wind chill. What doesn’t it do? The device features a touchscreen console that displays a wide range of parameters in an easy-to-read format. This is basically a weather man in a box. It can be placed on a desktop or mounted onto a wall.

ViewSonic’s ViewPad 7 tablet is on sale at Amazon for $599. That’s over a hundred dollars more than it was supposed to cost. This will no doubt hurt the devices sales, despite the 600MHz ARM CPU and front and rear-facing cameras on board.

Since Samsung’s Galaxy Tab doesn’t have phone functionality in the states, there is a market for a seven-inch Froyo tablet that can do voice calls, but that price is a deal-breaker. What do you think?

This is similar to the Android on an iPhone hack that allowed the first-generation iPhone and iPhone 3G to get Android 2.2 Froyo loaded. Developers are now working together to get Android on the iPad tablet, allowing the device to dual-boot into either the normal iOS environment or to the Android OS.

This is great news for those iPad owners who love to use Android. You could run Flash content while in Android mode. It’s called the OpeniBoot project and developers are targeting the iBoot bootloader on iOS devices, so potentially other operating systems can also get dual-boot privileges, like Linux.

Onkyo’s latest all-in-one desktop PC for the Japanese market comes with something extra, a built-in iPod/iPhone dock. This model is called the DE715 and features a 23-inch 1920 x 1080 display, along with a 3.06GHz Intel Core i3-540 processor.

Some other features include a 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics card, 4GB RAM, a 320GB hard drive, a 1.3-megapixel webcam, a Blu-ray drive, multi-format card reader, a TV tuner, WiFi, an HDMI port and Windows 7 Home Premium runs the show.

According to Gartner’s third quarter smartphone data, Android has a 25.5% slice of worldwide smartphone sales, helping it achieve the second place as an operating system, right behind Symbian. Apple’s iOS dropped a bit compared to last year, with 16.6% this time.

Symbian is still at the top spot this year at 36.6%, but their position is being threatened. Global mobile phone sales totaled 417 million units in the third quarter of 2010, a 35 percent increase from the third quarter of 2009.

The M-BT6BL Series is Elecom’s new Bluetooth 3.0 Laser mouse. We suppose it’s about as exciting as a regular old mouse can get.

Google TV’s YouTube Leanback may have just gotten better now that the YouTube Remote app has been released to the Android Market. Just sign into YouTube Leanback on the TV or PC and the app on the phone with the same account, then select a video on the phone and send it to the bigger screen. Pretty cool.

The application lets you control the entire YouTube LeanBack experience from your phone, without having to deal with whatever the physical remote came with your Google TV.

A flaw that may be linked to Windows Phone 7 itself may be preventing devices from connecting to secure Wi-Fi points. That’s what new owners have discovered since launch. Those trying to reach a locked network are told they “couldn’t reach the Wi-Fi network” even when using a valid password.

And it looks like the issue isn’t just confined to one device. It has affected at least the Dell Venue Pro and HTC HD7, according to BGR. It hasn’t affected unprotected networks and hasn’t had any significant attention during the European and Australian launches, so it could involve US-specific firmware.

Apple has just updated its internal documentation regarding its water damage policy for iPods according to a screenshot that Boy Genius Report got a hold of.

A source told BGR that Apple has included a number of Liquid Contact Indicators (LCI) into its iPod line that tell Apple whether the device has come into contact with a liquid. In the past the mere indication by a LCI alone was enough for Apple to suspect liquid damage. Now with the new guide lines Apple is requesting its employee’s carry do further checks to confirm the LCI indicator.

Some people treat their iPhone better than a pet, so why shouldn’t it have a tail? The Mobile Tail is a silicone tail attached to a suction cup that can be attached to the back of the iPhone or any other mobile device. Once stuck to the mobile phone it will hold the device in an upright position so you can watch videos on it.

The tail doesn’t wag, otherwise your device would fall flat. It comes in several different colors. At least it would, but it’s just a concept. Still it is cute if you like puppies and the like.
