iOS 4.3.4 to Fix PDF Exploit & New Jailbreak?

Foursquare Finds Its Way To Windows Phone 7

Ah-hah! There we go. Just days ago we were pointing out how strange it was that Foursquare still didn’t have a proper Windows Phone 7 application (especially as Microsoft had touted Foursquare around as a partner since the very beginning), and now they’ve gone and made things right. Following Gowalla into the Windows Phone fray by less than a week, Foursquare has just pushed their official WP7 application into Microsoft’s Marketplace. It looks like that extra time in the oven really did it some good. It is, ...
