I've been helping the good people over at Multiplied Media with their Poynt for Android application for a couple of months now and I'm proud to see that they have launched the application.

The team did a great job putting the application together and hopefully it will be well received by the community. Although its still being distributed and talked about here are some great features that might not be immediately apparent. 

1. Look up a Contact in the White Pages Search 

On 1.6+ devices, and in the countries where the White Page lookup is supported, Poynt has the ability to prepopulate the lookup fields from one of your existing contacts. 

To get the function, select People from the Main Carousel, and select one of the lookup items. For this example, I will select "Lookup By Name". 

Press the Menu key and there it is, "Lookup Contact". By pressing the menu item you will get your contact list to show up. Select one of the names and the menu will auto populate the fields. 

Press the search icon and get the list of the nearby search results. Click on the appropriate search result and get the specific details. 

Now, click the Add Contact icon  on the right side, and Android will automatically merge the details from the White Pages lookup with your contact details. 

So with a couple of clicks you can add the address, and phone number to your existing. contacts by using the People lookup in Poynt. 

Look for more tips soon and make sure to download and try out Poynt for Android.
