Prince Harry to Iraq

The London Daily Mirror is reporting that Prince Harry, the third in line for the British throne, will be serving on the front line in Iraq within days, according to an unnamed senior military source. The 22-year-old prince graduated from Sandhurst Military Academy last year. Second Lieutenant Harry has been quoted as saying he doesn’t want any special treatment; he just wants to serve. Troop Commander Wales, as he will be known among his military colleagues, was groomed to lead a troop of 12 men in light armored vehicles on missions to gather intelligence. CNN.com as an AP report has picked up the story from the Daily Mirror, with the only difference in reports stating he’ll be leading 11 men and 4 tanks.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
