Multiplied Media Corporation (TSX VENTURE: MMC), a leading provider
of mobile local search services, is pleased to announce that WIND
Mobile, provider of next-generation wireless services in Canada,
will provide a preloaded icon for the award-winning Poynt mobile
local search application on subscribers' BlackBerry® smartphones.
Poynt is a convenient and timesaving GPS-enabled application
that connects consumers to local businesses, people, restaurants
and movie theaters at the moment they want to buy or acquire
products or services. Poynt gives consumers the ability to move
beyond discovery of their local area to view movie trailers and
showtimes, book dining reservations, view directions on a map,
click-to-call the business or view their website.
"We are delighted to be working with WIND Mobile to provide
Poynt to their user base," said Andrew Osis, CEO of Multiplied
Media. "WIND Mobile's philosophy of engaging their users in
conversation to develop their product line and network closely
aligns with our own philosophy of working with our users to provide
a compelling, feature-rich application that delivers information
when and where they need it. We're looking forward to growing this
relationship as WIND Mobile grows in the Canadian marketplace and
beyond."
"Our subscribers seek the best solutions on the market and Poynt
is a leading location-based application for BlackBerry
smartphones," said Scott Campbell, Chief Marketing Officer of WIND
Mobile. "Providing easy access to Poynt for our BlackBerry
subscribers is another example of how we not only listen to
customers' suggestions, but act on them."
Poynt is seamlessly integrated with the BlackBerry® user
experience, allowing users to add searched addresses to their
BlackBerry® Contacts, schedule and add events to the BlackBerry®
Calendar and even invite address book contacts to events. Poynt
also shows users how to get to a selected location utilizing
BlackBerry® Maps or Google Maps Mobile.
Poynt is also available on BlackBerry App World™ or via Over the
Air download at m.poynt.com from the BlackBerry® Browser to
BlackBerry smartphone owners in Canada, the United States, Germany,
the United Kingdom, Italy, France and Spain.
