Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Gets Peckish, Orders Fonefood Widget
It isn’t even out here yet, but the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is already getting widget support from some of the biggest retailers on the net!
One of the first is from travel and activity retailer lastminute.com, offering their fonefood widget to search for and subsequently book restaurants on the go, with over 6,000 restaurants in 12 countries covered.
Complete with full descriptions, map directions and info on discounts and promotions, eateries can be booked for free using the service (as opposed to kicking you out of the widget to dial them yourself), and instant SMS confirmations are received to give peace of mind that it worked!
As they mention on Symbian Freak, this widget is extremely useful for people outside of their native land to book places to eat without any knowledge of local language or geography.
lastminute.com Head of Innovation, Marko Balabanovic said: “We are very excited to be launching fonefood as we see mobile becoming increasingly popular with people as a way to organise and make the most of their leisure time. This is just the start of many mobile capabilities that we are developing within the lastminute.com labs team this year.”
Interesting that they chose to develop for Symbian phones as opposed to the popular (to the point of being crowded?) iPhone App market…
