It may seem like Foursquare is a thing of the past, as social network giants like Facebook have added a "check in" feature awhile back. But Foursquare seems to keep on pushing, recently by releasing its long-awaited iPad application.

Previously only available on iPhone and iPod Touch, Foursquare's iPad application takes full advantage of the extra real estate. The app's home screen shows a new section, showing all of the best picks for locations in your area, this includes shops, restaurants, spas, etc. The iPad app also allows users to see suggested travel destination on your planned trip, browsing by city and personalized just for you.

Check out what’s new in Foursquare 8.5:

• Now available for iPad: the new iPad version of Foursquare is the best way to find amazing places on the go, anywhere in the world.
• Want to find some great dinner spots to try out? Just open it up, tell us what you’re looking for and get a beautiful selector of inspiring places, with one-tap saving, so you’ll get reminded when y you’re nearby.
• Planning a trip (or just daydreaming)? You can also easily browse by city. Select Barcelona, Shanghai, Buenos Aires (or any city, anywhere in the world) and get an endless list of ideas, personalized for you.
• We also made a bunch of improvements and bug fixes to the iPhone app. Happy Holidays from Foursquare!

Foursquare is now available for free on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad in the App Store.
