Watch from your Mobile Device Here.

For those that currently use Poynt on your BlackBerry device it is nice to see the pairing with the PlayBook and takes advantage of the push services capabilities, but keep in mind if you do not have a BlackBerry, Poynt still works great on the PlayBook by simply entering your zip-code for results.

Poynt via my PlayBook actually let me know that gas has dropped 30 cents a gallon this morning. Woot.
