GyPSii Opens China Data Centre to Enhance Local User Experience                 

New gypsii.com.cn site offers optimised content to customers across Asia-Pacific

GeoSentric Oyj (GyPSii) (OMX: GEO1V) the leading geo-location and social        
networking service provider for mobile phones and Internet devices, has today   
announced the opening of a China Data Centre, to offer localised content and an 
enhanced user experience to customers across China and the Asia Pacific region. 
The Shanghai-based centre will boost GyPSii's existing infrastructure in the    
area and provide users with specific local content and even faster download     
speeds.                                                                         

The opening of the centre follows the recent announcements of GyPSii's          
partnerships with Shanghai Rannuo Information Technology Co. Ltd. (GyPSii's     
service provider partner) to launch the China Unicom Beijing Olympics service   
and Dopod Club. With the Olympics set to begin in Beijing later this year, the  
data centre will accommodate GyPSii's existing users, while supporting new      
customers and the surge in the games-related user-generated content (UGC)       
expected in advance of and during the Olympics.                                 

GyPSii's new site www.gypsii.com.cn offers new localized capabilities for our   
Asia partners and consumers - including special China-specific user generated   
content, mapping and points of interest. All this will be available to customers
using GyPSii's mobile and web clients.                                          

“In opening a dedicated data centre in Shanghai, GyPSii is deepening its        
commitment to our partners and customers in Asia by delivering GyPSii in world  
class speed.” said Dan Harple, Chairman of GeoSentric. “By investing in the     
region and bringing the data centre online, we are reinforcing GyPSii's position
as the leading player in the market and executing our strategy to provide       
best-of-breed services across the globe.”                                       

“The partnership with Shanghai Rannuo and China Unicom represents a key         
commercial launch of our service with a major mobile carrier.  GyPSii is the    
first and only mobile social networking service of its kind available in China. 
The opening of the data centre reinforces GyPSii's ability to scale quickly in  
different regions of the world.  GyPSii is rapidly executing on a global        
strategy to provide Gypsii anywhere anytime to consumers around the world.”     

Mr. Shen Yingchao, General Manager of Shanghai Rannuo Information Technology    
Co., Ltd said, “UGC and social networking are the future, and the GyPSii service
will help drive the value added business to new heights. Thanks to our close    
partnership with China Unicom and GyPSii, Rannuo will continue to provide our   
long standing services to users and significantly enhance our offering in time  
for the Olympic Games”.                                                         

GyPSii is also made available to members of the Dopod Club, the exclusive online
community for Dopod device users in China. With GyPSii, Dopod users can         
experience a seamless mobile lifestyle experience, sharing content, connecting  
with friends and communities, searching UGC and viewing maps and directions to  
points of interest - all from their mobile phone.                               

Ms. Chen Yan, Product Manager of Dopod China, said, ”The close co-operation     
between Dopod Club and GyPSii is providing Club Dopod members with an exciting  
new application that is useful, fun and easy-to-use. GyPSii is the ideal        
accessory to the Dopod Club mobile lifestyle.”
