Multiplied Media Corporation ("Multiplied" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: MMC), a provider of mobile local search services, today announced the launch of its multi-award-winning Poynt local search application for BlackBerry® smartphones in Australia.

Sensis is the publisher of Yellow Pages® in Australia and is the country's leading directories information resource. Yellow Pages® connects Australian buyers and sellers and can be found across a powerful multi-channel network of products and services including print, online, mobile, voice, search engines and online mapping sites.

Poynt is an all-in-one, easy to use local search application that enables users to discover the local area around them by connecting with businesses, retailers, restaurants and movie theatres. Poynt makes it easy for consumers to view search results on an interactive map, get driving directions, check the weather, see showtimes and watch movie trailers - all from within one intuitive application.

Users can search business listings by keyword or category, find movies by title, theatre, genre, or nearest location. The app also enables users to discover nearby restaurants, search by restaurant name or even by cuisine.

"Whether you are looking for directions to the nearest florist, info on nearby places to eat, or a listing of movies along with trailers, Poynt for BlackBerry smartphones provides the easiest way to explore and enjoy your local area," said Andrew Osis, CEO of Multiplied Media. "We're looking forward to hearing from users in Australia as they discover new places across town or around the corner."

"At Sensis, we're always looking for new ways to put our Yellow Pages® advertisers in front of more buyers and helping buyers find local businesses anywhere, anytime and in any way they choose," said Thomas Arthur, General Manager, Product, Sensis. "Poynt launching in Australia with our Yellow Pages® content provides another great way for us to deliver value to our Australian small businesses customers."

Poynt is seamlessly integrated with the BlackBerry® Application Platform, allowing users to add searched addresses to the BlackBerry® Address Book, schedule and add events to the BlackBerry® Calendar and even invite address book contacts to events. Poynt also shows users how to get to a selected location utilizing BlackBerry® Maps or Google Maps Mobile. Poynt also integrates with Universal Search on BlackBerry smartphones running the new BlackBerry® 6 operating system.

Poynt is now available to Australian users on BlackBerry® App World (www.blackberry.com/appworld) or via Over the Air download through the BlackBerry® smartphone browser at m.poynt.com.

Poynt is also available as a free download for BlackBerry® smartphone users on BlackBerry App World™ or via Over the Air download at m.poynt.com to users in Canada, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, France and Spain.
