Star Awards
Multiplied Media was recognized in the Navigation or Location Based Services Award in the category for Consumer Applications. All categories and winners are listed on MobileVillage.com at http://www.mobilevillage.com/awards.htm.
As in past years, the Mobile Star Awards program showcases "best of" entries in dozens of categories covering mobile apps, enterprise mobile software, wireless network products, enterprise success stories, mobile industry visionaries and more.
Winners were chosen by subscribers of MobileVillage's "Go Mobile(TM)" - a free e-newsletter that delivers headlines and links from top mobile technology stories on popular websites such as Cnet, Engadget, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Computerworld and AppScout. "Go Mobile" was launched nearly ten years ago and is now published every three weeks for thousands of readers.
"Poynt was selected by our 'Go Mobile' readers as the go-to application on the BlackBerry for location based and navigation services," said
"We could not be more pleased to have been named a 'Superstar' in our category," said Andrew Osis, CEO, Multiplied Media. "To be recognized as a top consumer application by the MobileVillage is a great honour. The Mobile Star awards brought some stiff competition to the table this year. We would like to thank our development team, Poynt's loyal users and of course MobileVillage for hosting the awards."
In addition to MobileVillage, the Sponsors for the 2009 Mobile Star Awards were Clickatell, Funambol, MobileFrame, Nadel Phelan, OnPoint Digital and Syclo.
