EA have confirmed what we've all secretly been hoping for, namely that Command & Conquer: Red Alert is on the way to the iPhone, with a release on the cards for later this very month.

Allied and Soviet forces will be on offer in the new handheld take on the popular series, while the game will boast a new scrolling, pinching, tapping interface.

Skirmish mode will be included, with two maps and varying environments on offer. Favourite units are promised, and there is even something new called a Paladin Tank, which I like the sound of.

We'll take a closer look just as soon as possible.
