Normally we have to wait months for new software to play with, but they&#8217;ve just released a new version of their &#8216;Point &#038; Find&#8217; application.  Point &#038; Find is an application that lets you access information and services on the internet, just by pointing your camera phone at everyday objects. It then uses GPS data, along with a database of virtual tags to figure out what you&#8217;re looking at, and then sends the relevant information back to your phone.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re probably thinking, &#8220;sounds great but what does that actually mean?&#8221; so I&#8217;ll give you a few examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You&#8217;re walking down the street and you see a poster for a new movie.  By pointing your camera phone at the poster, you&#8217;ll be able to view movie trailers, check showtimes, book tickets and get directions. <\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;re out shopping and the latest gadget catches your eye.  You scan the barcode with your phone, and are able to read more detailed product information &#038; get the latest reviews. You also get a price comparison from leading online retailers so you can check to make sure you&#8217;re not paying too much.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This software is still a very early Beta, so that means that there will be bugs and times that it won&#8217;t quite do what its supposed to, but I&#8217;d say its still worth a try!<\/p>\n<p>Point &#038; Find is available at the moment for Nokia Symbian S60 handsets (Most NSeries) and is available to download from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pointandfind.nokia.com\/?home\" alt=\"Download Nokia Point &#038; Find\" title=\"Point &#038; Find\">Nokia Point &#038; Find website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Download it, Try it, and let us know how you get on with it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.27.4 -->\n<div class=\"quads-location quads-ad1\" id=\"quads-ad1\" style=\"float:none;margin:0px 0 0px 0;text-align:center;\">\n<div id=\"bari-widget\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nokia Beta Labs Boys &#038; Girls really have been busy this week!
