Here and Now: what's on near you now
October 3rd, 2010 by Jaffa
()Nokia's N8, a Symbian^3 device, comes with a service called Here and Now. This reads the cell tower information you're currently connected to and opens a web page detailing the current events (cinema listings and weather, for example) near you. I've done a quick port to Maemo 5 and the N900.
Once installed, you can launch it like any other application:

Without using a GPS, it sends your approximate position to Nokia's servers and shows you what's currently going on:

Just a couple rules:
* NO COMMERCIAL OR ADVERTISING: MaemoPeople is a community place, to share your experience with Maemo and devices using Maemo.
* NO URL CLOAKING: it's not so polite to hide the job done by someone else.
Thank you.
