The general consensus is that *displaying* data (POIs, etc) on top of a OSM layer is not a derivative work, so the ODbL doesn't apply to that data. Just remember to mention attribution and where does each layer come from in your app's documentation. If you're keeping data apart, it'll be perfectly fine. Being able to switch OSM on and off would be very good. However, if you're mixing OSM POIs with some other POIs with no easy way to tell them apart, then ODbL would apply. I hope that clears it up a bit.
