"Through 80 action-packed levels you must shoot enemy tanks, defend your base, and destroy enemy radar stations and bases. You will encounter a range of hostile terrains including snow, swamp, plains and deserts. As levels progress, tougher enemies will appear that require more than one shot or more effective weapons."

So there you are sitting in the doctor's office, dentist's office, or at the DMV bored out of your mind waiting to be called upon. Why not virtually blow some things up while you wait? With My Little Tank 1.10 you can do just that. With 80 missions and destroyable scenery, you should be occupied for hours. It's only $9.95 and there's a free trial. Give it a whirl and let us know what you think.

"For those sitting on the edge of your seats waiting for the new Shadow II from HTC, you’ll have to wait a little longer. It appears we missed the boat on the release of the Shadow II. AllShadow.com is now reporting that there will be no holiday cheer for the Shadow II. Sources are reported as indicating that the new HTC Windows Mobile device could be released in January of 2009 or be pushed further back later in the first quarter of 2009."

This is sad news indeed. I for one was really looking forward to the release of the T-Mobile Shadow II. I really liked the look and feel of the original T-Mobile Shadow and if I was T-Mobile customer at the time of its release I would have definitely picked up this device. Well, here is hoping the device is released soon. The staggering drop in Windows Mobile Standard devices being released to the public is almost alarming and any new device is greatly welcomed in my eyes.
