Poynt, Featuring Movie Trailers, Now Available for BlackBerry Bold

September 23, 2008-Multiplied Media Corporation is pleased to announce the release of a special version of Poynt designed specifically for the BlackBerry Bold to take full advantage of the video streaming capabilities native to the recently released smartphone.

Consumers have come to rely on the convenience that Poynt provides in finding local business and movie information. Now, owners of the BlackBerry Bold are able to utilize Poynt to view streaming movie trailers on their device. The new version is available to owners of the BlackBerry Bold in Canada and will be supported when the smartphones are released on the AT&T network in the United States.

“We don’t believe that the consumer should be tied to their desktop to quickly get the information they need to plan their shopping, dining and entertainment needs,” said John Lowe, CEO, Multiplied Media. “The release of the BlackBerry Bold has allowed us to add video streaming functionality to Poynt which provides a more robust experience for the consumer, no matter where they happen to be.”

Poynt is a convenient and timesaving service that connects consumers to businesses and theaters at the moment they want to buy or acquire products or services. By entering search terms, the consumer is able to find businesses and movies near their location, get phone and address information as well as enhanced data such as interactive maps, movie reviews and the ability to purchase movie tickets.

Poynt’s application for the BlackBerry takes advantage of the smartphone’s robust capabilities including locates by GPS and IP detection, click-to-call, click-to-map and click-to-view-website functionality. The always on, always connected nature of the BlackBerry allows users of the Poynt local search service to get local business and movie information whenever and wherever they need it.
