If your’e unfamiliar with the Mobile Merit Awards, it recognizes companies, individuals and technologies that have shaped the global mobile industry. At this year’s Mobile Merit Awards, Poynt has been awarded for best overall consumer app.
“We are honored to have been selected as Best Overall Consumer App by the Mobile Merit Award judges. Winning for best overall app emphasizes our success at creating an engaging user interface, locating the most accurate data partners as well as providing a fast, reliable local search experience on multiple platforms,” said Andrew Osis, CEO of Poynt Corp. “We strive to continually put the user first and make sure they have the highest quality data available for mobile local search and recognition by industry peers highlights our success in reaching this goal.”
With Poynt having been developed for BlackBerry for some years now, I wonder how big of a role BlackBerry played in helping Poynt acheive this award?
