Ever wish there was a dedicated application just for movie listings? Well, a member at XDA, danielgary, has created a finger friendly app called Cinemo, which makes looking up movie listings quick and efficient. With Cinemo, you have the ability to look up movies by postal code or GPS location. After setting your location, you’re able to check nearby theaters for showtimes. Another nice touch is that the movie rating, length and critic’s score are all visible on the same screen. You’re also provided with the selected theater’s address and phone number. Try it out and let us know if you think it’s better than the alternatives.

Notes: so far, this app seems to be limited to theaters within the United States and Canada. You will also need .NET CF 3.5 and a VGA device (as listed by the developer).
