A burst of 8 apps for your consideration
4th & Mayor
While Windows Phone 7 users await the updated version of Foursquare for Microsoft's platform, there's an alternative. 4th & Mayor uses the Foursquare API, and wraps a suitably slick WP7-like user interface around it, including comments on check-ins, adding photos to places and tips, and more leaderboard features.
Music WithMe 2.0
ParkVu's new music app for Android enables users to share and sync their iTunes libraries with their Android handset, via a helper app that sits on the user's desktop. Social features are also built in, to share activity on Facebook and see what friends have been doing. The app also links to the Amazon MP3 store app to buy songs.
Imaginary Range
Games publisher Square Enix says Imaginary Range is 'a hybrid comic and game experience'. The idea: people read the comic parts, and then play gaming segments that sit in between them, unlocking extra commentary and images as they go.
Taptu for Android
Taptu's news aggregation app was already available for Android, but an update now includes a native version for Android Honeycomb tablets. The app puts a new tablet spin on RSS, including allowing users to create their own streams from a variety of sources.
Frisbee Forever
Frisbee Forever is an officially licensed Frisbee game - yes, there's a registered trademark for that - developed by Kiloo. The universal iOS app offers a 3D take on flying plastic discs.
Snapbucket | Snap, Style, and Share
Online photos service Photobucket has released its own take on Instagram, called Snapbucket. Users can take shots, edit them using filters, and then upload them to Photobucket, Facebook and/or Twitter. It's available for iPhone and Android at launch.
Lynx Stream
Unilever has released a branded app to promote its Lynx deodorant brand. Lynx Stream aims to gather photos, videos, texts, tweets, check-ins and status updates from groups of (male, obviously) friends on their nights out, and turn them into single streams. It's available for iOS and Android as a free download.
Ovum Pocket Analyst for Android
This Android app offers the latest news and data from analyst firm Ovum, and now includes the ability to send feedback and questions back to the company's team, using in-app messaging features.
