The Nokia Beta Labs announced today that a new version of the Gig Finder application for the Nokia mobile phones was available for download. The new release comes around with a great deal of bug fixes, which are mainly the result of the feedback provided by those who already tried the application, the developing team notes, adding that future enhancements are also expected to arrive.

What the Gig Finder software solution is all about includes the possibility to search for concerts or live music events, to purchase tickets, or get recommendations based on taste and location (location relevance currently available for USA, Canada, UK & Ireland). According to the Nokia Beta Labs, the application has been designed so as to help people find the information they need fast and easy.

The features list of the application includes: - Easy Search. Quickly find where to find the best concerts & other music events near you. Search by artist, genre, city, venue, specific date, date range or a combination of any. - Buy Tickets. Direct links connect your mobile to various ticket vendors to conveniently find the best seats & prices - Smart Recommendations. Get recommendations for live events and venues based on your music tastes (profile & on device music library) and location - Get Directions. See where the event is and how to get there with a direct link from Maps. Start the Buzz. Share information about the gig to Facebook, SMS, or Email. - Download Music. Events link directly to the artist pages in Nokia Music Store / Ovi Music (when available in your country) so you can preview or download music before or after seeing your favourite artists live.

The developing team also announce that the Gig Finder application works with Nokia devices running under S60 5th Edition, including Nokia N97, N97 mini, X6, 5800, 5530 and 5230. Moreover, they note that, while the location recommendations are currently limited to United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Ireland, future releases of the application are expected to expand the feature to more countries.
