Popular location based social check-in app Foursquare for BlackBerry has been updated to v1.9.82. We aren’t sure what is different from the last release, as, there is no change log. Foursquare for BlackBerry is, however, a free BlackBerry download, so, it will only cost you the time to download to check it out.
As many iPhone and Android users know, Foursquare 3.0 has been released. BlackBerry users don’t yet have the update, but, according to the Foursquare blog, Foursquare 3.0 for BlackBerry will be released this week. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the BlackBerry version will have all the Foursquare 3.0 features found in the iOS and Android clients.
P.S. BlackBerry users, we’ll have a new build for you this week as well, but alas, not yet with some of this foursquare 3.0 goodness. The good news is that this latest build has all the pieces in place for us to move a little quicker, so stay tuned!
It seems that all the rage these days is in social networking applications that allow you to broadcast your location, or, “Check-In”, essentially posting your GPS or cell-tower triangulated location up to the internet. Applications like Foursquare and Gowalla popularized checking in and big companies like Facebook and Google are trying to mainstream it with Facebook Places and Google Latitude.
It seems like there are really two factions when it comes to applications that allow you to broadcast your location. Those that thing low-jacking your location via your mobile device for the world to see is the most insane idea ever… and, everyone else…
