Foursquare, which is arguably the most popular location-based service (LBS) out there today, is seeing a recent surge of growth due to growing awareness of LBS applications overall.
For those who are new to Foursquare, here is the official company description:
Foursquare is a mobile application that makes cities easier to use and more interesting to explore. It is a friend-finder, a social city guide and a game that challenges users to experience new things, and rewards them for doing so. Foursquare lets users “check in” to a place when they’re there, tell friends where they are and track the history of where they’ve been and who they’ve been there with.
Foursquare is viral, it’s intuitive, and it gains more value as it’s use increases. It is seeing increased competition from Google Maps for Mobile, and recently announced Facebook Places, but so far that is only propelling it’s status on the location-based scene.
Foursquare is a web application, with mobile versions for the iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Palm, and other mobile platforms. Go check it out and see what you think — Everybody’s doing it!

If you have an iPhone 3G, do NOT upgrade to the iOS 4 without reading this first.
Issue:
One of our staff members recently upgraded the OS on his iPhone 3G to the new Apple iOS 4. It was at about that time when her battery began losing power faster than it could be charged. After hours of trial and error, we were finally able to determine that the phone was trying to constantly download email from the MS Exchange server. It was constantly polling the Exchange server even though she had not touched the email settings.
Solution:
Disable the ‘Push’ feature in your mail settings on your iPhone.
- Using your iPhone, go to Settings.
- Go to Mail, Contacts, Calendar.
- Go to Fetch New Data.
- Turn off the ‘Push’ feature. Then select an interval to fetch your email messages.
For those 3G users who have not upgraded yet, I’d highly recommend you keep the above information handy.
Has this issue bothered you before? Are there any better solutions? We want to hear from you – let us know by commenting below!

As many of you have heard, there are a number of stories out there about how Apple’s new iPhone 4 is getting negative reviews around it’s reception.
Specifically, the redesign of the iPhone 4 includes incorporating the antennae in the outer casing of the phone. As a result, the user’s hand can interfere with the phone’s reception, causing the bar indicators to go down.
Even Consumer Reports has stated they cannot recommend the iPhone 4 due to this reception issue, in what was an otherwise a positive review.
We want to hear from you!
Did you buy an iPhone 4? Let us know by answering the poll below. Two people who participate in our poll will win a free MobileMammoth t-shirt.

We apologize for the somewhat cheesy title, but meeting people at bars is actually exactly what this iPhone app encourages.
In BarCards, players take turns selecting a card, and they get an assignment that somehow requires you to meet someone. By showing them your assignment on your iPhone, it breaks the ice quite a bit. BarCards also runs on an iPad, but bringing an iPad into a bar is probably not going to help your cause.
For example, if Maverick and Goose from Top Gun had this app 25 years ago, they would have had a much better excuse to start singing “You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling” to Charlie (Kelly McGillis). Now that would be a tough card to turn over.

How many times have you had to fumble around trying to dial a number on your mobile phone while driving? I’ve done it more often than I’d like to admit, though I am happy to say that I have completely stopped. If you own the iPhone 3GS, you can kick that habit too, and maybe even save a life in the process.
The new iPhone feature is called Voice Control. You can use Voice Control to dial a contact by name or by phone number, play a song on the built-in iPod, find out the song currently playing, or even create a genius playlist based on the current song playing.
To use Voice Control, simply press and hold the home button. At the tone, speak a command such as “Call Will Ferrell”, or “Call 408.555.1212″. To play a song, simply say, “Play Darius Rucker”. You get the idea.
So stop using your fingers to dial while driving and start using Voice Control on the iPhone 3GS. Who knows — the life you save may be your own.
