14 DAY TRIAL // A new application has recently been added to Samsung’s App store, namely the GyPSii social networking software. Users that own a Samsung mobile phone are now able to enjoy all the features of the app by downloading it onto their devices.
As many of you might already know, GyPSii is a location-based social networking, which offers other options like friend finder, local discovery and content-creation, while also acting like a sharing application and service running on mobile and web platforms.
The main functions of GyPSii would include PlaceMe, which allows users to record something and then share it with friends and other GyPSii members. Through this feature, users can add a photo, video or audio and then upload it. At the same time, it finds the location of users through the GPS in their mobile phone and shows it to other people on their mobiles and on the web.
SpaceMe is another feature of the software, showing users which of their friends are close to them, while also showing them on the map and offering the possibility to contact them. ExploreMe allows users to discover what could be found around them, as well as to view photos, videos or play sound recordings. Sharing the discoveries with others is also available. The FindMe function enables users to see on the map their current position.
Sanj Matharu, Samsung Mobile’s global relations manager, said, “Applications such as GyPSii will play a large part in the success of our online store and in turn enable people to gain maximum value and enjoyment from their Samsung devices.” He added that “Availability across other mobile operating systems is also of great importance to us, so we look forward to working with GyPSii as we extend to Windows Mobile and other platforms in the near future.”
The application is available for free, and GyPSii expects that this move would make it popular and increase its profile. “The Samsung Mobile Applications Store is another great distribution point to help GyPSii reach the millions of Samsung device owners around the world,” said Shane Lennon, GyPSii’s senior vice president of marketing & product development.
