GyPSii Brings Social Networking Service To iPhone

GyPSii, a geo-location and mobile social networking service provider has launched a Web-based GyPSii iPhone application.

GyPSii also said it would produce a "native" version of its application using Apple’s Software Developer Kit (SDK), scheduled to be launched soon, allowing access for Apple users, from desktop to iPhone.

"We don’t want iPhone users who were keen social networkers to have to wait any longer for the only social networking platform specifically designed for location-enabled mobile phones to be available for their handset," said GyPSii CEO, Dan Harple.

"We’ll work with the SDK as soon as it becomes available," he said, "and then we will be uniquely offering both web and native versions of our application for iPhone users."

Some of the new GyPSii features include a desk-top-like Web experience that can be used via a touch screen, an expanded People/Places layout, directions from the mapping interface, improved location-based search and user interface menus.

Apple has shipped more than 5 million iPhones worldwide since its launch in June of 2007.
