GeoSentric, the new incarnation of the old GPS phone manufacturer Benefon, has claimed that Nokia’s adopted its social networking application.
Benefon was one renowned for making GPS-enabled handsets long before GPS started taking off. Unfortunately it was too early to market and eventually dropped handsets to move into mobile applications.
GeoSentric’s GyPSii platform lets users upload pictures, videos and sound clips, each encoded with the location of where the picture or recording was made. Friends can then see where the user is or was, and search each other’s saved places.
GyPSii is already available on Windows Mobile and now also Symbian handsets making it available on most smartphones.
Nokia’s support should boost its user base, now the manufacturer will carry GyPSii on its GPS-enabled handsets including the Nokia N95 and 6110.
