GyPSii, a social networking platform and service for mobile phones and other Internet-connected device has confirmed that the Symbian version of the GyPSii application has been accredited by Nokia for its N95 and 6110 Navigator mobile phones.

GyPSii combines - in a web-based application - a social networking platform, location-based news and services such as search and friend-finder, and user generated content-creation and sharing.

Designed specifically for use on a mobile phone, the GyPSii platform is already compatible with Windows Mobile devices and by adding Symbian and Nokia support, GyPSii is now available on the vast majority of mobile phones and almost any Internet connected device.

“Consumer demand for mobile location based services is rising dramatically,” said Dan Harple, CEO of GyPSii, “and widespread handset compatibility is key to any company wishing to launch new and exciting services such as GyPSii into that market.

"Symbian is the dominant handset operating system, and Nokia the dominant handset manufacturer - as demonstrated by its increase in global market share to 39% and sales of some 111 million devices in Q3 of 2007 alone. Adding Symbian capability, accredited by Nokia, to the GyPSii platform is therefore a major breakthrough and milestone endorsement,” he added.
