Foursquare for Android has been updated, this update now gives you the ability to check your friend’s “mayorship” and adds startup options. Personally, I have no use for this app but it is one of the most popular apps in the mobile world. If you have a foursquare account, and a charger handy, this is app uses your phones GPS constantly, dive in and start you’re sharing(stalking).

A semi-common criticism of Android devices in many reviews is that the Android Market isn’t as well established as, say, Apple’s App Store.  While that’s still the case, it looks like Android is certainly beginning to accelerate the catch-up process. AndroLib have been tracking the number of new applications added to the Android Market, and churning the figures to work out how many apps per month have been submitted.  Turns out, March 2010 saw a significant jump in developer activity: over nine thousand new titles, versus 5.5k in February. April 2010, meanwhile, has over two thousand new apps already, and we’re only a third of the way through.  There’s no theorising from AndroLib as to what happened to provoke the jump, but we wouldn’t be surprised if the launch of the HTC Desire (and the HTC Legend ) at MWC 2010 the previous month had something to do with it.

Foursquare, a location based social networking game, is now available for Android. This game allows users to share their location with their friends. It has been one of the most popular apps for the iPhone and is Gowalla’s main competition. Usually apps ported over from the iPhone are not as good on Android as they were on the iPhone. But this app has a few features that the IPhone doesn’t; the most notable one is Google Maps integration.

This app got lost in all the hype surrounding the recently released Google Buzz widget and the update to Maps. The guys over at androidspin gave a nice mini review of this app.
