Quite right. I knew Foursquare went with OSM, I was just putting a hypothetical out there as a thought exercise. But I did change my post to be a bit more accurate.

Also, you make a great point about the lower level of fidelity Foursquare, iPhoto and Flickr need. Higher map accuracy wouldn't be worth the cost in those use cases.
