Users can search business listings by keyword or category, find
movies by title, theatre, genre, or nearest location. The app also

name or even by cuisine.
"Whether you are looking for directions to the nearest florist,
info on nearby places to eat, or a listing of movies along with
trailers, Poynt for BlackBerry smartphones provides the easiest way
to explore and enjoy your local area," said Andrew Osis, CEO of
Multiplied Media. "We're looking forward to hearing from users in
Australia as they discover new places across town or around the

said Thomas Arthur, General Manager, Product, Sensis. "Poynt
launching in Australia with our Yellow Pages® content provides
another great way for us to deliver value to our Australian small
businesses customers."
