GyPSii has partnered with Dopod in China to provide new and exciting location-based information and content features and services, for use on the mobile phone or via the Internet.
The new services will be available to members of Dopod Club the exclusive online community for Dopod device users in China, when members download the GyPSii mobile client directly to their mobile device.
GyPSii combines social networking, mobile, location and web 2.0 technologies to offer Dopod users a seamless mobile lifestyle experience – on their phone and via the web. Dopod customers can use GyPSii to create and share content, connect with friends and communities, search user content, people and points of interest, and get maps and directions – all from their mobile phone.
GyPSii uniquely incorporates a wide range of location-specific functions and services into a single easy-to-use interface that works on GPS and non-GPS-enabled devices alike. The downloadable mobile client integrates tightly with the handset's native applications, and is also accessible to Dopod subscribers via the Web.
Commenting on the news, Ms. Chen Yan, Product Manager of Dopod China, said, "The close co-operation between Dopod Club and GyPSii provides Club Dopod members with an exciting new application that is useful, fun and easy-to-use. GyPSii is the ideal accessory to the Dopod Club mobile lifestyle."
Dan Harple, Chairman and CEO of GyPSii, added, "We're delighted to partner with Dopod to bring GyPSii to the dynamic, fast-moving Chinese market. With this latest partnership, GyPSii leads the way worldwide with a new generation of innovative, location-specific functions and services – connecting people, places and communities in new and exciting ways, and bringing a compelling and unique mobile experience to several million mobile subscribers in China."
GyPSii provides Dopod users with features for users to share, view and upload pictures, video, text and POI (points of interest) with a geo-tag (location data) – find and track each other in their select communities. Find people and places, points of interest, map and navigate to them all.
GyPSii will be available for free download to Dopod users via the Club Dopod Club website in early March 2008.
