SameCell Announces Availability of
Release 2.0 of its Mobile Social Networking application for BlackBerry® Smartphones
Proximity based technique provides greater privacy and
automated method for users to know who's nearby and what's happening around
them
Toronto, Ontario – July 18, 2008 – SameCell Inc., an innovator in the emerging field of Mobile Social
Networking and Location Based Services today announced the release of it's 2.0 product for BlackBerry Smartphones.
SameCell's innovative technology scans an area up to 30 miles in every direction
to alert users when friends, places of interest or same-time events fall
within their proximity.
Robust privacy controls enable a full range of location sharing options and new interactive features let users share places and same-time events
with friends and other SameCell users.
SameCell embraces GPS devices to offer enhanced features and accuracy, but works
perfectly well on devices without GPS by leveraging SameCell's global database of
GSM and CDMA cell towers.
"Our proximity matching technology uses a hybrid model of Cell-towers, GPS
coordinates and geo-codable street addresses. This extensible model will enable us to more easily expand the reach of our service to additional
smartphone platforms" said Peter Tyson, Vice President of R&D for SameCell.
The new release is compatible with all previous versions of the application, including SameCell for Facebook and the SameCell for Facebook extensions for the iPhone, iPod Touch and SMS phones.
