February 4, 2010 by Robb Dunewood Leave a Comment

According to @JW, a.k.a., Josh Williams, founder and CEO of Gowalla, a location based travel game similar to FourSquare, a web based version of the application/game is coming to the BlackBerry.

Earlier today Josh Williams tweeted, “Oh wow.  I just checked in from a BlackBerry Bold.  BB users are going to be happy about this update to Mobile Web when it rolls.”

Gowalla is also working on a web client for Android, however, the version will have the benefit of HTML 5.  It will be interesting to see what Gowalla can pull of in the BlackBerry Browser.
