Poynt Now Avail. for Android

[theanswer3]

Google Maps Places is nice... but really is no substitute to the purpose of Poynt.

Poynt will give you nearest gas stations based on best prices for particular fuel types. I don't see this in Places.

Poynt offers Reverse Phone Number lookup.

Poynt offers a much better UI for nearby theaters, nearby movies, Top 10 movies, and more.

Poynt provides restaurant/bar searching with more search engines than google places does (superpages, citysearch, and opentable).

And more.

At the same time... Google Places offers a few things that Poynt doesn't. Poynt integrates well with Google Maps and offers a slew of nice services from a simple UI. It's still new to Android, and I'm relatively confident it will grow and expand rapidly to the extent it won't be long before a lot of Android users are just as addicted to it as Berry users are.

Agreed. I like reverse lookup, movie times, and local gas prices based on gps location in poynt. If places got that, I would get rid of poynt in a heartbeat.

I loved Poynt on BB. Now it is ok. What a sheltered life a BB user has. With Android I have turned into an app junkie.

I was already an app junkie! LOL But I've gotten worst and become MORE greedy!!! LOLOL
