local search application is now available for the BlackBerry Storm smartphone . The app can be easily accessed from the BlackBerry Storm smartphone's touchscreen, to help find places and also get information about them.  It's a handy app for finding movies along with information about those movies. And, they will have restaurant information in the future.

We named it our "Free BlackBerry Storm App of the Day" because it puts maps, listings and information together on the BlackBerry Storm screen without a lot of fuss.

Poynt for the BlackBerry, won the Personal Productivity and
Lifestyle category as well as one of three Best of Show Grand Prizes in
the BlackBerry Partners Fund, last year.
