An award-winning, Calgary-based provider of mobile local search services, Multiplied Media Corporation, is pleased to announce the addition of restaurant search for over 880,000 Poynt customers in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.
Poynt's restaurant search feature rounds out the already robust business, movie and people search offering, while maintaining its ease of use and outstanding graphical user interface. The section features enhanced restaurant listings and enables users to easily find nearby restaurants, read reviews and book dining reservations. To enhance the user's experience, icons are displayed when restaurant reviews or dining reservations are available for a restaurant listing.
Once in the restaurant section, Poynt's customers are offered three ways to search: Restaurants Near Me, Restaurants By Name and Restaurants By Cuisine. Features that users have come to expect such as click-to-call, mapping, driving directions, integration with BlackBerry(R) Calendar, BlackBerry(R) Contacts and BlackBerry(R) Messages are all standard within the new restaurant module. As with the existing sections, all search results are based on the consumer's location - whether acquired by GPS or cell-site, or manually entered - and are sorted by distance.
Poynt is a free** application and is available for the BlackBerry(R) Pearl(TM) and BlackBerry(R) Curve(TM) series smartphones, as well as the BlackBerry(R) Bold(TM), BlackBerry(R) Storm(TM) and BlackBerry(R) Tour(TM) smartphones and takes advantage of capabilities including locates by GPS* and cell-site, click-to-call, click-to-map and click-to-browse-website. Poynt is available to BlackBerry smartphone owners in Canada, the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom. The latest version of Poynt is available for download on BlackBerry App World(TM) or by visiting http://m.mypoynt.com from your BlackBerry(R) Browser.
Poynt is also in development for the iPhone with a private beta scheduled for Q3 and a commercial release expected in Q4 this year.
* Requires a GPS-enabled BlackBerry smartphone.
** Wireless charges may apply. Please check with your wireless service provider.
