Finnish town has culture on the go with mobiles


HELSINKI (Reuters) -
Fancy a dose of culture in the Finnish
city of Oulu? All you need is a mobile phone.


Get theatre tickets digitally, download a smart video
trailer of how the play was directed, order and pay for snacks
for the interval and, after a culture-packed night, order a
taxi home -- all by just swiping a cellphone over smart tags
placed on the menus or around the foyer of the theatre.

The Oulu City Theatre in northern Finland, 600 kilometers
(373 miles) north of Helsinki, says it is the world's first
cultural institution to use the hippest handset technology,
expected to turn mobile phones into wallets.
