Nokia’s plans for its in-house Nokia World expo should include the first mainstream Eseries touchscreen phone, according to leaks. The E7 is a touchscreen QWERTY model. Aside from that we don’t have many details, but it may be a Symbian^3 slider similar to the MeeGo-using N9.

The London event should also be used to confirm that the N8 is finally shipping, a mere seven months after it was first unveiled. Of course other new smartphones are expected to come along too, but we don’t know which ones.

Sotec’s E7 media center PC series adds an iPod dock. A hidden compartment at the base houses a slot where you can plug in the mp3 player. The 21.6 inch PC also features a DVD drive, built-in card reader, 1.3MP camera, wireless keyboard and mouse, 8W Onkyo speakers, NVIDIA GeForce 9300 video card, integrated 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi module, Gigabit Ethernet, 1GB of RAM and a160GB hard drive as part of the standard option.

It’s powered by an Intel dual-core 2GHz with optional enhancements like 2GB RAM, 500GB hard drive, and a 2.53GHz processor. The E7 should be arriving with an October launch date. The standard version is priced at about $950, while the fully-loaded options will cost you $1560. It’s nice to see an iPod dock included, but it doesn’t make it stand out enough in a sea of PC’s that are all very much the same.
