A major update to how you access content on the go.
While Nokia Point & Find previously just became available a month ago, Nokia Betalabs posted a short introduction of the service today. Remember, the service is still only available if you’re in the US or UK (but you can download it and check it out if you select “US”).
With Nokia Point & Find you discover useful and contextually relevant information and services by simply pointing your camera phone at objects.
The unique thing about Nokia Point & Find is that you can point at real things from the real life, i.e. not at physical tags, and get information in real-time, i.e. not after 10, or 5 or even 3 seconds. For now, Nokia Point & Find is available as an experiment on select objects like movie posters and barcodes.
Check out the video below for an introduction to the service :
Download the service at pointandfind.nokia.com, and try it out. For instance, point your camera phone at a movie poster on the street to read reviews, glance at ratings, lookup show times, and even find the closest theatre and purchase tickets in the UK if your phone has a built-in GPS.
You can also scan barcodes of your favorite products in a store to get more detailed product information. If you don’t like pointing, or if typing on a mobile keyboard works better for you, you can always use text entry to search the directory.
And soon, you’ll be able to access custom experiences created by your favorite brands, or even to create your own experience by going to pointandfind.nokia.com/?login.
Remember, you can give the crew feedback at betalabs.nokia.com/pointandfind.
Check it out y’all ! What do you think of the service so far ?

This application looks interesting, doesn't it? I'm waiting for it to be available for India.
And Cj, is there a problem with your mailbox? I did not get any reply to the last two emails that I had sent to you (although my last email wasn't useful, as you had already written about the mentioned application a number of days ago; I'm sorry for that).
