Tempo, a new smart calendar project from the birthplace of Siri, launched this week. The app not only keeps track of your appointments, but also pulls in relevant information for those appointments such as contact information for the people you\u2019re meeting with, and relevant emails and files. \nIf you\u2019re traveling to your meeting, the app provides driving directions and helps you find parking, or lets you know if your flight is on time. Running late? Tempo lets you alert everyone in the meeting in just a few taps.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTamagotchi\nTamagotchi is back! A new Android app released this week brings back the pocket pet of the '90s. Much like the keychains of the past, Tamagotchis in the app can be fed, played with, and put to sleep to keep them happy. The app also adds several new features, including the ability to play rock/paper/scissors with your virtual friend.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRhapsody\nRhapsody updated its app for Windows Phone 8 this week.  Among other new features, the app has a revamped music library, offline playback, and improvements to the app\u2019s discovery feature. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSound Uncovered\nCan you hear secret messages when you play music backward? Does sand make noise? These questions and more are answered in Sound Uncovered, a new iPad app released by San Francisco\u2019s Exploratorium this week.  The hands-on app takes you on an in-depth journey through sound, teaching you lots of fun new facts along the way.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKickstarter\nCan\u2019t get enough of Kickstarter on your computer? An iPhone app lets you search through projects currently on the service, watch project videos and pledge to help. Also useful for those creating projects, the app can be used to create and edit project pages and track progress.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSlacker Radio\nSlacker Radio launched an updated version of its service this week. The app takes on Pandora, allowing you to create customized stations based on your musical preferences. Stations can also include news and sports, and can be listened to on your computer as well as iOS or Android devices.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto by Mashable\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
