The crew over at BetaLabs just announced the new Nokia “Here and Now” app. I use the term “app” loosely here though, as this basically installs a bookmark in your S60 device’s Web Browser, through which you can access the services of Here and Now.
Here and now offers easy-to-use web services related to your current location. Check the local weather at a glance and get other topical information while on the move.
Here’s what the post at Betalabs says :
Introducing the answer to two vital questions of the day: Is it going to rain tonight? What’s going on in town?
Sure there are ways to find out, but none is as instant and personal as Here and now. It allows you to get the local weather and events directly to your mobile browser – zero configuration, just click and go. That’s what the techy types among us call context sensitivity – for others like me it just works.
Here and now will be preinstalled in several upcoming Nokia devices, but here is your chance to try it out in advance. Weather and Events are the first services available, but the plan is to add more – eventually we might have a kind of urban survival guide. However, it all depends on the feedback we get.
Download Here and now and please give us your feedback. We are aiming to build a better set of services and would really appreciate your improvement ideas.
Download the app, over at the Nokia Here and Now Page at BetaLabs. Right now it only works for S60 V3 phones though, so if you have an S60 V5 device like the 5800, you’re out of luck.
You can check out the short introduction video below to know more about this service:
