I recently joined the world of Twitter, you can see all updates in 1 place, nice and easy to view. You can follow me with @rickym61.
Having a Windows Mobile Smart-phone, running WM 6 Standard, I wanted to keep in touch with all the updates on the go, I started with just using the standard Twitter mobile page, but this wasn't feature rich enough for me, so went searching for an application I could use on my windows mobile, I stumbled across Twikini, so I gave it a go, I was pleased with the features it has, its been updated twice with new features, i'm sure it wont be the last time, you can download it from here http://www.trinketsoftware.com/Twikini
Main Features
- FAST! Unlike other Twitter apps for Windows® Mobile, Twikini is written entirely in native C++ code for maximum performance and the fastest load time possible.
- Simple, uncluttered, and customizable user interface. Choose from a variety of themes for the best reading experience.
- Post tweets using a full screen editor. Optionally, set your location (either manually, using GPS coordinates, or geocoding) along with your status updates.
- Send and receive Direct Messages.
- Twitpic integration to post photos with your status updates. Select existing photos or click new ones from your device's camera. When reading tweets, view Twitpics inline (without having to open a separate browser). (Screenshot)
- Read status updates just like browsing a web page. Quickly reply, retweet, favorite, or email other people's tweets.
- Windows Media Player integration. Automatically tweet the song and artist you're listening to. See a realtime feed of other people using it on Twitter.
- URL shortening services including Bit.ly, TinyURL and Digg.
- Single download that is compatible with all Windows® Mobile devices - both touch and non-touch.
- And lots more...

At MMS 2009, during "SQL Performance Tips for SMS and ConfigMgr Reporting Gurus" session by Brian Mason and Steve Thompson, this neat tool was featured and bought to the worlds attention (or those that never knew about it).
This tool will even make John Nelson aka #2 happy so he doesnt have to see any ugly formatted SQL code (I will update the exact quote from Brian Mason shortly, lol)
SQL Pretty Printer is available from here @ wangz.net current cost is $39.95 with a 15 day money back guarantee, also see here to see if you qualify for a free licence 
SQL Pretty Printer is a tool that will help you beautify your SQL code. Using hotkey functionality, SQL Pretty Printer can reformat SQL statements for a wide variety of database tools such as Microsoft Query Analyzer, SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), TOAD and PL/SQL Developer, development environments such as Visual Studio 2003/2005 and Eclipse, and popular editors such as UltraEditor and EditPlus.
In addition to beautifying SQL code, SQL Pretty Printer can translate SQL code into C#, Java, PHP, DELPHI and other program languages.
SQL Pretty Printer also includes command line functionality, with the ability to format single files, single directories and multiple directories.
One thing to note is: This Add-In works in SQL Server Management Studio(SSMS), with .NET2.0 installed. It doesn't work for EE edition of SSMS
You can also try an online demo version of this tool here
