GyPSii, the award-winning mobile social networking application (www.gypsii.com), has announced its availability across the recently launched WeFiApps (www.wefiapps.com), the first Wi-Fi powered launch pad for data-intensive mobile applications. WeFi's service locates and automatically connects mobile phone users to the best Wi-Fi connection available, wherever they are located. 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. Members of the WeFi community can download GyPSii free from WeFiApps, and share their life experiences in real-time, automatically "geotagging" their location with related images, comments, status updates and information. "The GyPSii community is always connected, creating and sharing their life experiences wherever they are. These desires mirror the profile of the WeFi member and we look forward to sharing a very active community." Said Shane Lennon, SVP Marketing and Product Management at GyPSii. WeFiApps is powered by the WeFi backbone connectivity layer, which dramatically enhances the wireless network user experience with mobile and portable devices. It provides a high performance, open and global broadband wireless network by combining a community-generated database, a smart connection manager and a dynamic Access Point/Hotspot directory. WeFi always seeks to connect users to Wi-Fi access points where Internet access has already been verified by other WeFi-enabled devices - dubbed "community-verified spots" - in a growing network of over 30 million access points recorded. "GyPSii is ahead of the game in terms of mobile social networking. The application does more than just find friends or points of interest, it allows for creativity and sharing of lives which is of great appeal to our always connected community of users," said Amit Shaked, VP Marketing and Distribution of WeFi.
