Foursquare & Gowalla Update iPhone Apps at the Same Time

So Foursquare’s and Gowalla’s updated iPhone Apps have been released at almost the exact same time – and right in time as promised for SXSW – we wonder if this is some inside joke at Apple or something?

UPDATE: Foursquare’s update is now the new v1.7. Below is a picture we took of the update page in the App Store, and check out our side-by-side UI review of both Foursquare’s and Gowalla’s updates.

    Yeah, weird. The settings on my newly downloaded 1.7 version still say 1.6.1. Seems like a glitch – this is not the full update that we saw a glimpse of a few days ago.

    Yeah, I think this is another unintended release. Update screen in app store says “Brand new interface!” but nothing is new.

    v 1.7 is now live – I now have it installed on my iPhone.

    Strange. I did the update, but still have 1.6.1

    OK, this time instead of going to the Update section on my iPhone, I downloaded from Foursquare's main entry in the app store, and I got the new version.

    Well for me and all non-iPhone users, I think 4square is definitely the way to go. Gowalla is missing out on the whole market of mac-haters. Gowalla is fun, if you're so bored you want to play games with yourself, but 4square seems much more useful. Gowalla does has a cool design, thanks to it being from Austin a traditionally hip/trendy design/web city, but 4 square is more practical.
