movie posters are generally at one place - MOVIE THEATERS

additionally if they are for a released movie they almost universally list the movie times at the bottom of the poster.

this is about as dumb as you can get in its current form.]]>Apr 1st 2009 7:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/nokias-point-and-find-service-makes-reality-better/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/nokias-point-and-find-service-makes-reality-better/
The beta is limited to movie posters. The full release will recognise all kinds of different things, and then return a plethora of information from the internet.

We chose not to pursue a deal with Point & Find for many reasons, but the two main ones were the ridiculous cost to business owners (well over $2,000 USD per month) and the fact that it is just not a viable product. The Symbian app as well as the web-based directory tools are riddled with problems in both usability and functionality. I would like to see this become a useful tool at some point, but they have a lot of things to work out before it's ready for the general public.]]>Apr 7th 2009 2:39PM
