“There’s no denying that Windows Phone 7 (or Windows Phone 7 Series, or whatever awful branding was chosen) looks to be a huge improvement from the previous iterations of Windows Mobile. And there’s even some talk that it may be able to compete with the current golden boy of the smartphone industry, Apple’s iPhone. If an early look at the new Foursquare app for Windows Phone 7 is any indication, it just may.”

Habitual Foursquare’ers (Which Jason believes I am, despite the fact that I keep it to my self since my check-ins aren’t exactly all that interesting) will like the new Windows Phone 7 foursquare app, which is a nice improvement over the 6.5 version now. Another reason to be psyched about WP7S!
