"Pictures emerge of Sprint's Motorola Q" ??

Hi,
Could you please tell me the meaning of this sentence: "Pictures emerge of Sprint's Motorola Q". I found it in http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/11/29/pictures-emerge-of-sprints-motorola-q/
I also found a similar sentence like this:
At the same time reports began to emerge of rare people who said they experienced two sensations simultaneously: they saw colors when they heard sounds, or they heard sounds when they ate something. The condition was called synaesthesia. (New York Times, http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/01/arts/design/01kimm.html?ex=1277870400&en=e5a7087079fe2b74&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss )
Thanks in advance

So is "emerge of" a idiom? But I cannot find it in dictionaries.

To me, it looks like "Poctures of Sprint's Motorola Q emerge".

Any comments?

Both correct, different order.

It's called heavy movement if I'm not mistaken. A heavy (wordy) phrase or clause is moved from its usual position in a sentence to make other grammatical relationships more clear. In the two cases under consideration, the movement occurs to place the head of the subject noun phrase closer to the verb emerge.

Thus, 1a comes from 1b, and 2a comes from 2b (below).
