Multiplied Media Announces Addition of Gas Price
Search Feature to Poynt Application for iPhone
New Version Also Improves iOS 4 Compatibility, Calendar Integration and the
Ability to Save Favorite Movie Theaters
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Aug. 3, 2010) - Multiplied Media
Corporation ("Multiplied" or the "Company")(TSX VENTURE:MMC), a leading
provider of mobile local search services, today announced the addition of a
gas price search feature to their free, local search application, Poynt for
iPhone and iPod Touch. The newly added gas feature searches the user's
local area for nearby gas stations, as well as locates the best price per
gallon by grade.
With the new gas feature, Poynt for iPhone users have the benefit of
choosing whether to view search results by lowest price or by location.
Users can easily toggle between both options giving them a clear sense of
the different gas stations in the local area and what the best-offered
price may be. At the touch of a button users can also quickly pull up a map
to the selected gas station or access turn-by-turn directions.
Also included with this update is enhanced iOS 4 compatibility with the
ability to add events such as restaurant reservations and movie times to
the iPhone's calendar. Users are also able to save a list of favorite local
movie theaters in the app, providing even greater convenience when planning
a night out.
Poynt connects iPhone users to businesses, movies, retailers, restaurants,
people, local weather and now provides the user with the added benefit of
being able to find the best local gas prices. Poynt for iPhone also
features Poynt 360, a unique augmented reality feature that utilizes the
iPhone's GPS, compass and camera to display search results as clickable
tags over a live view of the surrounding environment.
The new version of Poynt for iPhone and iPod Touch is immediately available
for download from the iTunes App Store:
