LBS News Round Up

Ambient Industries, the company behind Flook, its location-based discovery tool (described as StumbleUpon for location). The extension of the funding from Amadeus Capital Partners and Eden Ventures totals close to $1 million per TechCrunch. That’s on top of an undisclosed sum from last year. There are updates to the service, too.

Nokia has released its first LBS game: Ovi Maps Racing. It allows players to create a racing track out of their own physical location, based on real maps.

A company called Touchality is using the public APIs to build a Window Mobile version of Foursquare. That leaves only Symbian out of the game, though a version for that platform is in the works.
