All-in-one mobile social networking arrives on the iPhone
Download GyPSii now to create, share and connect across networks from one
application
The award-winning GyPSii location aware mobile social networking application has
found a new home: on Apple's iPhone application store.
From today, iPhone owners can download GyPSii directly from the popular iPhone
App store and immediately start creating and sharing “geotagged” content in real
time with friends, family, and the growing global community of GyPSii members.
The places and experiences users create then become true Internet -searchable
destinations, available for friends and communities to share and comment on, not
only in GyPSii, but also across other social media such as Facebook and Twitter.
GyPSii delivers an all-in-one mobile social networking experience. It allows
people to instantly capture and share what they are actually doing, building a
multi-media virtual diary on their world - the places they have been and the
things that they have done.
From America to China, and across Western Europe, the GyPSii community offers a
global snapshot of local events and activities, where users can share what they
are doing, where they are, and what they recommend with as few or many people as
they desire.
Developed by GeoSentric Oyj (NASDAQ OMX: GEO1V), GyPSii is the only Social
Network created solely to cater for today's mobile lifestyle and a generation of
people who want to be socially networked on the move. Whether on holiday, at a
family event or on a night out with friends, GyPSii makes it easy for people to
share what they are doing, at the touch of a button.
Utilising the iPhone's built-in location technologies, GyPSii empowers people to
share their experiences in real time, tagging their location with related
images, comments, status and information.
What's more, GyPSii members can create, connect and share their social
networking information and status with Facebook friends, Twitter followers and
the wider GyPSii community - all from within the easy-to-use GyPSii Connect™
technology platform.
Launching GyPSii into the Apple store, Chairman Dan Harple said: “GyPSii and the
iPhone is the perfect partnership for user experiences. GyPSii is the only
mobile application totally designed to record a users life in real-time, to tell
their life story, and help people explore their world using the one device that
is with them at all times - the mobile phone.
“With GyPSii, people can share what they are doing or planning with their
community of friends and followers, and comment on it instantly without having
to wait until they're next at their PC. We expect iPhone users to quickly become
GyPSii fans and use the application to stay connected to their communities, no
matter what network or devices they use.”
The GyPSii application is already available on a wide range of devices from
companies including Samsung, Nokia, LG, and Blackberry SmartPhones and users of
those devices can download it directly at www.gypsii.com/m
“The launch of our iPhone app, also marks the launch of our next generation of
user experience (UX),” explains Shane Lennon, SVP Product Management and
Marketing at GyPSii. “iPhone has blazed the trail for how mobile phones are
being used today. Our next generation UX has been created after close study of
how people want to create content, share it and connect with others while on the
move.”
