Poynt is an amazing application for BlackBerry users offered by Multiplied Media Corporation and is a personal favorite of mine. It is the most complete all-in-one local search application I have come across and I strongly encourage all BlackBerry users to have it on their device. Since the public beta release nearly two years ago in June of 2008, Multiplied Media has built upon Poynt’s strong foundation of capabilities offering an incredibly rich and user friendly experience.
Multiplied Media provides not only accuracy in their product, but efficiency. When entering a search based on name or location, the results give the user a comprehensive amount of information from the businesses, restaurants, or movies surrounding them. The results are displayed by proximity ranging from the closest listing to your GPS or cell-site based location. From here, you can expect an array of options from making a reservation, a phone call, purchasing tickets, or even viewing a movie trailer; all within a single application and all with the click of a button. Address book, calendar, and mapping integration offer seamless transitions to your next plan of action.
The ease of use sells itself. As does the other part that contributes to Poynt’s overwhelming success; its rich graphical user interface. In the latest revision, Poynt not only displays the temperature on the home screen, but adjusts itself based on the time of day and your current location. Once your position is determined, the application displays anything from the rays of a sun shining brightly, to gloomy clouds, and even a rain drops dripping off a window effect. Combine this with support from powerful and respected partners such as Citysearch, OpenTable.com, and Yelp, and there really needs no more to be said.
Disagree? Leave a comment and let us know why; but do not do so until you have downloaded and tried it for yourself. Head over to BlackBerry App World for your copy today. If you do not have BlackBerry App World installed you can also point (no pun intended) your browser to http://m.mypoynt.com from your browser.

Formula 1 Timing App for BlackBerry with Circuit Data and Schedules
Formula One is here with the first races starting this weekend in Bahrain. With the Live Timing App for BlackBerry, you can track the progress of every driver, from their position and best lap time, to their latest sector times and lap count. The app also includes a track status indicator, informing you of yellow/red flags and safety car phases, plus straight-line speeds and text commentary.
The Formula One Timing App also gives you a circuit data screen that lets you know track conditions, with the current air and track temperatures, rainfall, air pressure and humidity levels, plus wind speed and direction. Graphs also allow you to see how conditions have changed throughout the session.
To download the Formula One Timing App, go to mobile.formula1.com from your BlackBerry and download the Live Timing App from the link on the homepage.
