Off to browse the iTunes App Store?  Make sure you take a look at these eight apps which are new or updated this week, complete with links directly to them.

Chorus.

Provided enough people download and start using this app, it could become very handy indeed!  It brings social networking to the app store by importing friend lists from other sites and then shares what apps they’re downloading, gives recommendations and even identifies nearby App Store users!

Waveboard.

You’ll need to be a Google Wave user to use this application, which negates the need to visit Safari everytime you want to use Wave.  The standard front end is displayed and the app plays nicely with the browser when needed.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert.

If you were a PC gamer in the mid-90s, the chances are you played this intense strategy game which has now been ported over to the iPhone.  Although some of the more complex gameplay features are missing, it’s still very close to the classic C&C experience and makes good use of the multi-touch screen for the man controls.

Gravity Sling.

This game is free for the first 15 levels, but after that the in-app purchase system kicks in and you’ll have to lay down some money to play the next 30.  The object is to get your spaceman back to his space shuttle by using the gravitational forces of nearby planets.

Squarespace.

If you run your blog or website on the Squarespace platform, this app is a must-have.  You can manage and create new content, add pictures and maintain your site all inside the application without the need to open Safari.

Opposite.

Fair enough, this may not be something you use everyday, but you’ll have to admit – it’s inventive!  By using your exact location, or selecting another, you can see where in the world is your polar opposite.

Drift.

This is an augmented reality driving game.  To play, first head over to the developers website and print out the gaming card, then start the app, place the card on the ground and by looking through the camera, start drifting your racer around virtual oil drums with your surroundings as the background!

iTheremin.

The Theremin is a musical instrument which is operating only by hand movements made nearby and it produces a very distinctive sound.  This app claims to do something very similar and is for the iPhone 3GS only, so if anyone has given it a try, we would love to know how good it is!
