Y! priority search
Submitted by cseiitb
This app will run on mobile phones and search for movies (if time permits for books and food also) based on situation of the user, and uses EDGE on phones.. For example, a person would not know where to find food say at 2 o clock midnight. We cam even provide information regarding the crowd at a place because you dont want to go to a food court and find it full. When a group of people want to go for a movie without prior plans, this app would help.
