Two of the most widely used Windows Phone 7 applications have just been updated to support Windows Phone 7.5 Mango today. As you can seen the picture above the official Foursquare application and Flixster now include new Live Tile related features and most importantly fast application switching for proper multi-tasking support. You can update or simply download them right now from the marketplace if you are running Mango on your Windows Phone handset.

There’s are still tons of applications that have yet to be recompiled or updated for Mango and I personally hope that Microsoft has asked all major developers of successful apps to do it and that every Xbox Live game will also be updated in time because Mango is upon us now.
