Poynt is an amazing free application provided to Blackberry users.  You can search local business, movie theaters, retailers and events etc.  You can even look at movie show times and buy your tickets through the application.  It is the most downloaded application on Blackberry App World and is a must.  Oh yeah I almost forgot.. If you phone supports GPS all of your searches are done by the location you are currently at!!!

You can download off Blackberry App World or simple by going to the site and they will email your phone the link.  I highly recommend and would love to hear some feedback.

There is a little bug in the AdvancedDataGridColumn formatter.  For whatever reason when you try to call the DataFormatter directly the year gets spit out incorrectly.  The work around is to use a label function that calls the exact same formatter.

The below code shows the code that will throw an incorrect format and the correct format.  I highlighted the 3 columns that are of importance.  The start date calls the labelFunction which correctly formats the date.  The end date uses the built in formatter which incorrectly displays the year and the hours worked uses the formatter to correctly format a number.  I included the hours worked just to show that it is only a date problem.

Hope this helps someone from banging head on the wall!
