New features for mobile devices by Ludmila Martinicka

To have Internet connection, camera or iPod in the phone was leaving us breathless yesterday. Today brings new features for mobile devices. Do you wonder what else could your mobile phone enable you to do? Good question. The Oulu City Theater in northern Finland brings to fans of culture new services. The bright idea of the management of the theater brought the, by many people called, old-fashioned world back into today life. Customers can order their tickets digitally, download a smart video trailer about how was the play directed, order and pay for snacks and after the performance order a taxi home. All that can be done thanks the tags placed on the menu of mobile phones or around the foyer of the theater. Theater in Oulu are not missing the speed of nowadays life. Don't let make yourself confused. Although you can see the antic Greece, Gothic style or times of romanism on the boards, there is great support of modern technique and management by people from 21st century behind. This project is developed in corporation with Finish mobile phone producer Nokia and telecommunications operator TeliaSonera. If they ingratiate people with this unusual offer, they think about spreading this project widely. Hopefully this idea will inspire also theater managers in other countries and customers could enjoy the same services with grace of theater plays or even more. We will see what tomorrow brings. According to the high speed of technical development we can be sure it will leave us breathless again.
