I've been playing with the app, updating regularly; how does one see
the latest check-in by friends in this app?

Thanks!

As of right now, when viewing your list of friends (the second icon on
the navigation bar), it lists all of your friends and has their most
recent checkin below their name. you can also view their positions on
a map from this screen.

I noticed when you click on a friend to view their user page, you can
see their cell phone number. The iphone/iTouch app doesn't do this,
nor does the m.foursquare site. Was this done on purpose or just an
over site?

This is by design. a feature of foursquare is that friends can see
each other's info, including email address and phone number. To block
this from happening, you must change your foursquare privacy settings
by visiting http://foursquare.com/settings remove the check next to
"Let friends see my phone number and email address." You can also
block your friends from being able to see your Twitter and Facebook
accounts by removing the check next to "Let people see the links to my
Facebook / Twitter profiles"

Yes I understand that and I saw that in the preferences, but I'm
saying I think the app is ignoring that.

I don't know what settings my friends have but for example, I have a
friend named Tim. When I view his user page using the iphone/itouch
app, I can see his email, twitter and facebook accounts. When I view
his user page using my Pre, I can see his email, phone number, twitter
and facebook. The same goes for another friend. I can only see his
email on the Apple app, but in the Palm app I can see his number and
his email. When using the m.foursquare.com version all I can see are
their badges. You can't see email, phone, twitter nor facebook.

I understand the app is in beta, but I just thought the interfaces and
experiences should be consistent between the apps. I don't have any
friends that live close by to see how it works on the blackberry.
Before installing the Palm app I had to use the m.foursquare and my
iTouch when I was around wifi. The m.foursquare version is so watered
down, so I was too eager to install the Palm app. Consistency across
all apps so everyone can have the same or similar playing experience.

I think the Palm app looks better than the Apple app (but I'm
biased). I think you guys are doing a good job
