Nokia Here and Now Offers Local Events and Weather

Nokia (NYSE: NOK) has churned out another project from its Beta Labs called Here and Now. It’s a bit lackluster for now, but in the long run, Here and Now could easily be a hub for local interest information. Nokia is saying this will be preinstalled on future devices, but present feedback will determine which other services to tackle. Weather and events are certainly the big ones, but I could see some great possibilities with shopping and maybe even geotagged Wikipedia articles pertinent to immediate surroundings. Friend View seems like a natural fit for the app as well – it would be cool to see the two plugging into one another. What would you guys like to see in an app like Here and Now? Head over to the Beta Labs to try it out.
