A tweet tells you that one of your fav artist is gonna perform in your town or nearby. You surely want to etch the performance in your memory lane. What do you do? What… trying out some iPhone app. Good try but suppose you are a Nokia user, and please include the touch screen too.. our discussion is based on this..so.
Okay, straightforward to the point, if any such thing happens, then Nokia’s Gig Finder app for its touchscreen handsets (that’s S60 v5) will make it a lot easier for you. Find out how after the break.
Currently available only in US, Canada, UK and Ireland, this app really makes a point in helping users finding out live and upcoming shows of their fav artists. It analyses search patterns and can come up with suggestions also. How well it does that, now that depends on you. You can search by artist, place, genre, city, venue. date range and combination of any of the above, as suitable to you.
If you drilled out something worthy, you can share it via facebook, SMS or mail. Pretty cool…hmmm. Now you plan the show and purchase the tickets and for that, you don’t need to look anywhere outside your mobile. the app has this facility also. And finally as you readied yourself up for the show, app will direct you to the maps to follow and attend the show, the very purpose of all of this.
But you simply can’t ignore the songs, maybe a couple or more of them ringing still very loud inside your mind. And you want to download them while your journey back to home. Time to switch to Gig Finder again. Search, locate and download them at the Nokia Ovi store after the app directs you there.
Ok here is the download link for the app.That is it. A complete tool for music concert experience. And that too from Nokia. Amazing it is .... Don’t you think Nokia has come up with something that goes at par with an ideal iPhone app, rather than a new series of allegation of breach of patents. Good for a change.
