We got a sneak peek at restaurant lookup and reservations in the Poynt application back at WES, and now the feature has properly gone live. Between this and the white pages reverse phone lookup that was added earlier this summer, Poynt is shaping up really nicely. If you haven’t checked it out already, Poynt is a great reference tool for finding movies and looking up business phone numbers, all the while plugging tightly into the native GPS, calendar and address book apps. It’s one of the top free apps in the BlackBerry App World – with this update, you should definitely check it out.
