A selection of 11 apps for you today:
Fifa 12 by EA Sports
EA's annual update to its football franchise has gone live on Apple's App Store, now including the game's Manager mode, and new control schemes to help players unlock their inner Messi.

Cars 2 Appmates
We have already written about Disney's plans for an Appmates range of physical toys that work with iPad apps, but the first app is now live, based on Cars 2. Once the toys go on sale in October, fans will be able to drive around the virtual Radiator Springs by moving the cars on the iPad's touchscreen.
iPad
Michael Jackson Doctor Trial
Well, this was probably inevitable: as the trial of Michael Jackson's doctor Conrad Murray gets under way in the US, there is already an iOS app for that. It includes news stories, live video streaming from the court and daily video highlights. The app is the work of US broadcaster Fox, and is already riding high in the US App Store chart.
iPhone / iPad
Flickr
Yahoo's photo-sharing service Flickr has released an Android app that takes aim at the iOS-only Instagram by helping people to take photos, apply filters and then share them on... a range of services? Yes, Flickr is helping people share pics on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr, presumably via its own site.
Android
9mm HD
Gameloft has released its acclaimed gangster game 9mm for Android in an HD edition. Expect plenty of third-person shooting, as well as online deathmatching.
Android
Benetton
Fans of colourful knitwear rejoice: fashion brand Benetton has released its official iPhone app. It lets people browse and share images from the company's catalogues and campaigns, while also including behind-the-scenes videos from photoshoots. A store-finder and the streaming Benetton radio station are also included.
iPhone
Katamari Amore
Namco Bandai's excellent roll 'em up franchise has a second game for iOS, promising new levels that haven't been available on other gaming platforms before. The business model is interesting: the game is free to download but only allows the first Time Attack stage to be played: an in-app payment of £2.49 unlocks the rest of the game.
iPhone / iPad
Burn The Rope
Popular pyromaniac puzzler Burn the Rope has made the leap to Windows Phone, tying in to Microsoft's Xbox Live community. It involves rotating levels to ensure the fire burns as much rope (upwards) as possible.
Windows Phone
Guns'n'Glory WW2
Games publisher HandyGames has released a sequel to its freemium game Guns'n'Glory for Android, with the second world war now the focus. The action/strategy game lets players take on the role of US or German forces, and it's optimised for Sony Ericsson's Xperia Play handset.
Android
Belkin LiveAction
Best known for its accessories, Belkin is getting into the photo and video-sharing app game with its new LiveAction application. "Capture high-quality snapshots and home movies, then send to your social network without skipping a beat," promises its App Store description. The idea is that the app can be used with Belkin's LiveAction range of camera grip and concert mic accessories.
