Beta Labs' Gig Finder answer the question of "who shall we see tonight?"

Nokia's Betalabs have another curious little app available. Gig Finder, for S60 5th Edition phones, allows you to build up a profile of bands, and search for gigs that you should like that based on your location (or wherever you feel like searching). While I'd love to know where the data is coming from, and a little bit more explanation on how to tailor the recommendation engine, this could grow into a nice little tool.

Read on in the full article.

I check the beta labs quite regular, and this looks like a nice little application.

But why have they artificially restricted it to 5th edition devices? Nokia have decided that people with non-touch devices, N95, N85, N86, etc. don't have an interest in gigging or music?

Still, can't complain, they do some excellent free apps, Wellness Diary is absolutely fantastic!

Do Symbian nerds really need this software? I thought they don't go to gigs anyway..
