Last time we talked about Poynt, they reached 1 billion interactions and 6.4 million unique users. Now they announced surpassing 9 million users across North America, Western Europe and Australia.
Unsurprisingly Android device owners represent a majority of all new users — of the over 700,000 new users added in June 2011, 500,000+ were on the Android platform, with existing preloads contributing to over 300,000 users. In July, the average number of new daily users added has exceeded 25,000.
If you don’t know what Poynt is all about, you should know it’s a local guide app that allows users to quickly locate businesses, retailers, restaurants and movie theaters; or obtain relevant local information, such as cheap gas prices, today’s weather and details about local events. Moreover, the application also allows interactions with the search results, from click-to-call business telephone numbers, dining reservations, and point-to-point directions to buying movie tickets after viewing trailers.
Poynt is a free app available across multiple platforms, including iOS, BlackBerry, Android, Symbian and Windows Phone 7.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
