Updates Blackberry and iPhone versions                                          
Launches in Nokia's Ovi store                                                   

GeoSentric Oyj (NASDAQ OMX: GEO1V), developers of the award-winning GyPSii      
mobile social networking application (www.gypsii.com), today announced new      
availability, as well as number of updates, to enhance the application based on 
feedback from its member community.  The company is adding Java capability in   
English, updating its iPhone and Blackberry applications and is also going live 
on Nokia's Ovi store.                                                           

“GyPSii is constantly looking for ways to improve and build upon our user       
experience across a wide range of devices, making it simple for people to create
content and share their lives with friends, family and other members of the     
GyPSii community,” said Shane Lennon, SVP Marketing and Product Management at   
GyPSii. “We see the feedback and suggestions received from our membership and   
the market as key to the continuous evolution of the user experience, and we    
have incorporated much of this into today's latest round of developments.”  
From today, GyPSii has added an English language version of its Java application
- which was previously only available in China in local language.  The English  
version is available for download now in the US, UK and major Western European  
markets at www.gypsii.com/m.
“The arrival of GyPSii on Java in other regions is a major milestone for us,”   
said Dan Harple, Executive Chairman at GyPSii.  “The Java handset community is  
one of the world's largest so this is a massive step forward and builds on our  
recent successful launches into the iPhone and Blackberry markets, while        
complementing our existing availability on Windows Mobile, Symbian, web and     
netbook devices. 
“With these developments GyPSii's reach continues to broaden.  Our aim is to be 
available on all the world's most popular devices in all the world's most       
popular regions,” he added. 
The company confirmed that GyPSii has been introduced in selected Nokia Ovi app 
stores.  The Ovi store is now live in more than 100 countries, opening an       
enormous potential marketplace for GyPSii.
In addition, GyPSii has made a number of updates to the iPhone and BlackBerry   
applications to deliver its next generation user experience (UX).  GyPSii       
originally launched in the Apple iTunes store last month, and this latest       
version is compatible with iPhone OS 3.0, offers Chinese language support and a 
number of other performance improvements which have been integrated.  Major     
enhancements have also been made to the BlackBerry version, with the addition of
a number of new, previously unavailable interactive features that improve the   
ability for members to explore and share content between friends and the wider  
GyPSii community.  
The GyPSii application is already available across a wide range of devices,     
including Samsung, Nokia, LG, Apple iPhone and BlackBerry handsets.  For a full 
list of supported devices, or to download GyPSii now, go to: www.gypsii.com/m.
