China Unicom chooses GyPSii for 3G Mobile Social Networking in China
GyPSii selected as the premier mobile social network for new UniSpace 3G SNS    
service from China Unicom's Shanghai Unicom
GeoSentric Oyj (NASDAQ OMX: GEO1V), developers of the award-winning GyPSii      
mobile social networking application (www.gypsii.com), today announced its      
partnership with China Unicom's Shanghai Unicom, to become the premier mobile   
social network solution for its new consumer 3G SNS Service, UniSpace.
From today, more than 5 million Shanghai Unicom customers are able to download  
the GyPSii client directly on to their mobile device from the UniSpace website, 
http://space.uni-play.net. This roll out will expand to 130 + million           
subscribers in China. As part of the GyPSii community, UniSpace members can     
immediately start to create “geotagged” content for sharing in “real-time” with 
friends, family and the growing global community of GyPSii members.
The content that UniSpace members create becomes true Internet-searchable       
destinations and experiences, available for all GyPSii friends and communities  
across the globe to immediately find, share and comment on.
“GyPSii's ability to deliver an all-in-one, location-aware mobile social        
networking experience is proving extremely popular in China, with people using  
the application to create and share content, as well as connect with each other 
across a range of networks and devices,” said Mr. Lu Dongliang, Deputy General  
Manager of Shanghai Unicom. “With its fast-growing community and unique,        
intuitive user experience, GyPSii was the natural choice as a mobile social     
networking partner. We expect the new UniSpace offering to play an important    
role in driving the success of our 3G Value Added Service.”
GyPSii uses various handset location technologies - including GPS, A-GPS and    
cell ID - to allow Shanghai Unicom customers to automatically tag their location
with photos, video, status updates and other information, for sharing their     
experiences in real-time.
GyPSii is available for UniSpace customers to use on a wide range of mobile     
devices, including Java, Symbian and Windows Mobile phones. Further mobile      
platforms will follow shortly.
“After GyPSii and Shanghai Unicom's success working together during the Olympics
in 2008, we are delighted to deepen this important relationship and open up     
GyPSii to the wider community of Unicom's millions of subscribers,” said Dan    
Harple, Executive Chairman of GyPSii. “Our goal is to have GyPSii on the world's
most popular networks and devices, for mobile consumers worldwide to use and    
enjoy in all the world's most popular regions. Shanghai Unicom is an important  
and valued partner. Their 3G leadership in China, coupled with GyPSii's seamless
“create, share, connect” model, provides a valuable new mode of communicating   
for Shanghai Unicom users. Our partnership truly enables Shanghai Unicom        
customers to create a new “people powered index” using GyPSii on their powerful 
3G network. We look forward to welcoming UniSpace customers as new GyPSii users,
who will use the application to connect and share their mobile lives with       
others. This, in turn, will help Shanghai Unicom to acquire new 3G customers,   
retain existing subscribers and importantly boost revenues.” 
The GyPSii application is already available worldwide on a wide range of        
devices, including the Apple iPhone, Samsung, Nokia, LG and BlackBerry          
Smartphones. New users can download the application directly at www.gypsii.com/m
