Multiplied Media's Poynt Local Search honoured with BlackBerry Alliance
Program's EMEA Innovation Award

    CALGARY, CANADA and ROME, ITALY, Dec. 1 /CNW/ - Multiplied Media
Corporation (Multiplied) (TSX:V MMC), a Calgary-based provider of mobile
local search services, is pleased to announce that their Poynt Local Search
application has won the BlackBerry(R) Alliance Program's EMEA Innovation
Awards 2009 in the 'Life on BlackBerry' category.
    The awards showcase innovative organizations in the EMEA (Europe, Middle
East, Africa) region who are delivering compelling mobile applications and
services to customers on the BlackBerry(R) platform. Winners in seven
categories were selected by an independent panel of 13 judges.
    "We have to thank a number of groups for this honour, including our team,
the BlackBerry Alliance Program and our strong and loyal user base," said
Andrew Osis, CEO, Multiplied Media. "Our entire team puts forth a tremendous
effort to make the Poynt product what it is, and our customers continue to
use Poynt and provide feedback on how we can evolve it to be an even better
tool for their BlackBerry smartphones."
    Poynt is a convenient and timesaving GPS-enabled application that
connects consumers to local businesses, people, restaurants and theaters at
the moment they want to buy or acquire products or services. Poynt allows
consumers to move beyond discovery of their local area to view movie trailers
and showtimes, book dining reservations, view directions on a map,
click-to-call the business, or view their website. Poynt is currently
available to BlackBerry(R) smartphone owners in Canada, the United States,
Germany and the United Kingdom and will soon be available in France, Italy
and Spain. It is available through BlackBerry(R) App World or via OTA
download at m.poynt.com.
