Foursquare, the location-based game and social networking app has just updated their BlackBerry app to version 1.9.5. For those who never used Foursquare, you just enter your location or “check-in” whenever you go out. You can earn points and badges as rewards. Check in enough times at one location and you can become Mayor, find certain places with tags to earn badges and also see who else is check in currently. Some businesses have now started to offer discounts for people who check in or special deals for those who become mayor.

Images from the new BlackBerry Theme Studio have been leaked. Looking at the screenshots it appears to support both BlackBerry 6 and the BlackBerry Torch. With the BlackBerry Developers Conference coming up at the end of the month we could see a release coincide with the conference.

Poynt, the free local search application for your BlackBerry has been updated to version 1.6 and is now available in App World. You can use Poynt to find businesses, retailers, restaurants, movies, gas prices and weather information around you on your BlackBerry. Poynt uses GPS or cell-site location to quickly deliver the information you need, whenever and wherever you need it. Poynt is available in Canada, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Spain. The latest version adds a few small feature additions, but this update better integrates with BlackBerry 6 and also adds support for the new BlackBerry Torch. Poynt has come a long way since it was first in beta back in 2008. The user interface design presents the information you want exactly the way it should be.
