Lastminute Labs Launch NRU

lasminutelabs_nruThe team over at Lastminute Labs – the hive of mobile innovation inside online travel and bookings site Lastminute.com – have been in touch to announce they have release NRU, the application for Android handsets (so just the G1 right now) we previewed in December.

In their own words:

nru shows you things to do near you, either a compass-like circle of things around you if you hold the phone flat, or a straight-ahead view of things in each direction if you hold the phone up.  Right now we have all our fonefood restaurants and deals in there, as well as a host of useful content from Qype, everything from cafes and cinemas to bars and bowling alleys.

It’s available in the Android marketplace now, so go and try it out or if you need to jog your memory, check out their original preview video:
