Location-game showdown: Gowalla vs Foursquare (Download Squad)

Nov 3rd 2009 10:35PM I desperately wanted Foursquare to come to Honolulu, and joined several friends in just unofficially adding Honolulu venues to Los Angeles. Then I found Gowalla, and I think they're on the right path. Foursquare is address dependent, and the website seems like an afterthought. Gowalla is GPS savvy, with refined controls, and of course gorgeous to look at.

I wrote a detailed overview of both services, as well as several others, but Gowalla took top honors. I imagine sheer buzz, though, will propel Foursquare to success. It's theirs to loose.

By the way, you repeated a whole paragraph twice in your post.

Taking the Plunge: Updating to iPhone 2.0 Software Early (TUAW.com)

Jul 10th 2008 7:53PM I'm beginning to suspect is that we've installed the 3G version of the iPhone firmware on our EDGE iPhones... and that as a result, everything else works perfectly, but the location element is looking for real GPS rather than the geolocated cell towers. Sound plausible? And if so... help! Any way to get the EDGE version of the 2.0 firmware?

Taking the Plunge: Updating to iPhone 2.0 Software Early (TUAW.com)

Jul 10th 2008 3:14PM Did early update on a non-jailbroken, totally stock and AT&T linked iPhone EDGE. Everything works great (apps, appstore, etc.)... except location triangulation via cell towers (i.e. fake GPS). Seems my "Maps" app can't find me any more, and apps that use location have that greyed out. Uh oh!
