The last few weeks there have been loads of apps cranked out by BlackBerry devs across the world for the upcoming BlackBerry PlayBook. We've seen a few here and there and things definitely look impressive thus far. I was overjoyed when I saw one of my "go to" BlackBerry apps was spotted running on the tablet OS as well. Poynt is being ported for PlayBook and is shaping up to be even better than it's BlackBerry OS counterpart. Unfortunately no solid video showing things off, but we do get some great screens to see how things are coming along.
Poynt looks awesome on the tablet and you can be sure with all that real estate it packs in some amazing features. If things are what they seem, Poynt should take full advantage of all the PlayBook has to offer including (hopefully) GPS (as we discussed in the last podcast) for all it's location features.

Poynt running on the BlackBerry PlayBook
Can RIM seriously just put out some official statements??
GPS?
Native PIM apps via software update?
They're getting killed PR wise this week.
Wish this would integrate with my Garmin for BB. Either that or if RIM could make BB maps as useful as Garmin or Google Maps is on Android.
Official statements would be awesome! A reliable release date would be even better!
Gps would be a must!
This app along proves GPS is on the PB, how else does it work if there is no GPS. But RIM saying it would be the icing on the cake. I just need a little info from them.
Blackberry Bridge? Which would be beyond stupid.
In Poynt, you can manually type in the city you want to search.
I'm hoping Kevin's speculation about a superbowl unveailing will be true. If the release date is annouced then and say its March 15, then there is plenty of time for official statements.
Hehe when I clicked over to intomobile to looks at the pics there was an ad above that said IPads for $23.99, I still believe the iPad is worth less than that! So I'm buying the playbook.
The pics do look awsome! I will be so happy to have a cutting edge product with none of SJ's finger prints on it!
whoa thats fantastic! i love poynt i use it so much. so to see it on the playbook FAN-f'n-TASTIC !
Big Marketing night coming up soon, say like sunday night?
Superbowl unveiling would be epic. RIM better do something soon, they've been talking about it for 5 months now - it's time to actually do something.
agreed. I want this device asap. Poynt is one of the greatest apps, and I think it looks beautiful!
Why does this "need" gps, I use google maps on my iPad with wifi and it can find my location just fine.
good to see one of my favorite applications is running on a playbook....i cant wait to get my hands on one
but do you allways have to pair it with you bb phone
