GyPSii, the world´s leading geo-location and mobile social
networking provider, 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
(www.club.dopod.com) 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 & 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 &
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."

& upload pictures, video, text and POI (points of interest) with a
