This is an amazing new motion-sensing game which operates on any Windows Mobile device. "How?" I hear you ask, well it's all done with your camera. It'll analyse a simple sweeping motion on your handset and you'll see your dart fly through a meadow, on the moon, or where ever you choose to play. This is a full motion sensing game which also features Bluetooth connectivity and multiple dart types including exploding ones! It's a little strange to get used to, so we'd recommend grabbing the demo version, however you'll soon be waving your phone in the air like some drunken weirdo and playing multi-player games with your mates!"</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/paxton-20072306-lawn-darts.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />Now I have to admit I have not tried 3D Lawn Darts but I'm very intrigued. I guess it's kind of like the Wii in the sense you have to move your smartphone in order to play. You swing your mobile device in a sweeping motion, just like you would throw a lawn dart in real life. From what I've read you can play on the moon, in the backyard, in a forest, and more. You can even play in multi-player bluetooth mode. Like me you probably don't have a strap on your smartphone so don't let your device go flying! You can download a trial or purchase your own copy <a href="http://software.smartphonethoughts.com/product.asp?id=12399">here</a>.

Waving your handset like a Wii remote (without a strap)? I can see a lot of broken smartphones in the future. 8O
