POYNT FOR WINDOWS PHONE 7 LAUNCHES IN GERMANY, FRANCE, ITALY AND SPAIN
Poynt Corp. has launched its Poynt app for Windows Phone 7 users in Germany, France, Italy and Spain in the countries' respective local languages.
Poynt harnesses the power of multiple applications in one intuitive package. Users can search for businesses, retailers, restaurants and cinema listings. The cinema section provides showtimes, trailers and film ratings while the restaurant section allows users to search restaurants by cuisine, name or proximity. Poynt allows users to interact with the listing through mapping locations, viewing restaurant information, booking dinner reservations and viewing local weather forecasts. Poynt's integrated weather screen allows users to view real-time weather conditions. Users can add search results to their calendar or send details to friends via email as well as share listings via Facebook or Twitter without exiting the application. One of the unique qualities of the Windows Phone 7 device includes the pivot feature, which facilitates toggling between different features and screens.
With the addition of the Windows Phone 7 platform in key European markets such as Germany, France, Italy and Spain, Poynt user interactions will drive increased user numbers, searches, page views and revenue as the App continues to be monetized with display advertising.
"Poynt for Windows Phone 7 extends our local search solution to even more European consumers in these regions," said Andrew Osis, CEO, Poynt Corp. "Windows Phone 7 is poised to be a successful platform worldwide and we are extremely excited to offer the Poynt application in more languages to more users."
