Foursquare is a location-Aware Social Networking service available for some of the major cities in the US and Amsterdam. Foursquare draws from a list of known restaurants, bars, and nightclubs and other famous spots around you and you can check in to any of those location earning you some points. I dont think the iPhone app was a huge success but there are some loyal followers for this service eg: Anand Iyer who does not own an iPhone and find it inconvenient to use Mobile IE to access the site, and now he plans to release a native Windows Mobile app to use this service.

He has got a beta version of the app that he demonstrates in the video on his site. He has not released the app for public use yet but if you wanna give it a whirl, you can ask him to email it to you.

Credit to WMPowerUser for the find and Kudos to Anand Iyer for the effort to bring this app to Windows Mobile users.
