Earlier this month we announced that Unispace powered by GyPSii is one of the 10 apps that comes on-deck with the iPhone in China through China Unicom. Since the launch Unicom has been promoting the app in print, tv and even bus-billboards. Here is a tv spot translated into English.

Party for iPhone in China

Over the weekend China Unicom Shanghai Unicom hosted a super swanky press conference to unveil the iPhone in China. Our very own Jeff Lin, Managing Director APAC, was on hand to introduce attending media to GyPSii, the only social network on-deck for iPhone in China.

Check out this post on iPhoneAsia.com to see pics of this over-the-top press conference replete with models, a string band, and break-dancers.

GyPSii On-Deck for Apple iPhone Launch in China

Tom Schuyler — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:59:53 +0000

Even after more than two years Americans are still in love with iPhone – clearly. With steady sales, 80,000+ apps in the store and innumerable blogs devoted to the awesomeness that is the iPhone, it’s safe to say, we’re still cookoo for iPhone.

Well, today Chinese users can officially join the love fest. Today China Unicom made the phone commercially available along with 3G service and it’s very own app store, the wo-store. The iPhone will come with a Unispace powered by GyPSii application on-deck when the phone is sold, meaning the GyPSii will be right there for the millions in China expected to buy the iPhone in the coming months.

This is big news for the Chinese mobile marketplace and for GyPSii.

China is the largest mobile market in the world and we think the iPhone is going to be huge. Unicom bought 5 million handsets from Apple (that’s the population of Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island). While that number seems staggering, just think: there are about 687 million mobile subscribers in China (that’s the U.S. population times two, plus France and Serbia for good measure – wow).

While there are a huge amount of subscribers, perhaps more important is how central mobile devices are in the lives of so many Chinese. About half of China’s Internet users access the web only by mobile device. Imagine how important your handset would be if that was your only channel to the web? – For most of us in Europe and the U.S. it’s a supplement, not the sole conduit, and that is changing too!

China is a huge market for GyPSii and one that’s growing quickly. We’ve noticed that the Chinese are very open, leaving most of their content open to the public. Our Chinese users are also prolific commentors, sometimes leaving more than 200 comments on many Places posted. All this openness stands to reason – after being a closed society for so many years the opening of China in recent history is giving Chinese people an opportunity they’ve never had to share they’re experiences locally and globally at the same time.

Being on-deck on one of the world’s coolest devices in the world’s largest mobile market is cool to say the least.

If you’re interested, you can find a press release on the announcement here.

Create and Share GyPSii Places – a new digital post card from your holiday travels.

We all travel this time of year. After all it’s a great way to spend and enjoy well deserved time off. And one of the joys of traveling is being able to share your experiences with friends and family back home, or anybody else you want to stay in touch with. But old fashioned calling and texting can only do so much. Sometimes it’s tough to find words to describe the place you are visiting, or there is just not enough time to tell the whole story. Well, as we all know that a single picture can say 1000 thousand words! So when you travel make sure your camera phone is good and charged. Better yet, invest into that new phone you have been wanting – it’ll be worth it.

Great you have a phone with a camera and all kinds of fancy features. Now what? Easy! That’s what GyPSii is for. Download it for free, invite your friends to join, and now you can share and stay in touch during your travels.

To use GyPSii you only need a data plan. No more expensive long distance calls and roaming charges. No need to try to find words to describe Niagara Falls, Paris or Sydney. Just create a place and send it to your friends. It’s a whole new way to share your experiences while traveling – a new age instant post card from the road.
