The movie features are powered by Cinema-Source which provides global content including the EU. Movietickets.com powers the purchasing process.
Overall, Poynt has a full featured movie finding app. Looking for a number or person? You can search for names, phone or addresses right from the app. My favorite feature is the reverse phone lookup. With it, you'll always know who called.

 Poynt has an Open Table powered restaurant search too. Find restaurants anywhere and reserve a table. It even lets you search by cuisine. They use a trustworthy review system as well.

 Definitely a great LBS app.

Almost all of the top charters are registered with them. Well they've taken these rights and are creating store fronts and white label solutions to spread mobile music to every BlackBerry in America.
 
Their music store is a formidable iTunes competitor. The system is bandwidth driven so if you're on WiFi you get a bigger data pipe, and if you're on radio, they compress the data.
 
The 7Digital store features Drm free music, 328kb/s quality music (better than iTunes) and comparable pricing with iTunes around $0.99 per song. Stay tuned because they'll be taking it further with contextual search and purchase.

Circuit switch data is an old solution for voice encryption that has proved unreliable with international calling. Working securely over IP has been a challenge. Cellcrypt have a new solution that was previously only on Nokia and Windows mobile but is now available on BlackBerry.
 
With government grade security, Cellcrypt is a great addition to the BlackBerry platform. This year at WES, RIM is talking about data security quite a bit and Cellcrypt's voice encryption complements their platform..
