Introducing nanonavi for Symbian Phones
Written by Nanomatic
Wednesday, 04 March 2009
Nanomatic, a global company that makes secure mobile social applications and location aware devices, announced today that nanonavi will now run on Symbian OS based mobile phones.
March 03, 2009 - Sunnyvale, California - Currently, nanonavi J2me and Windows-mobile versions run on all the major mobile smart phones including Nokia, Sony-Ericsson, Samsung, and Windows Mobile. By providing consumers with the new nanonavi version for Symbian OS based mobile phones, Nanomatic believes that it offers the most secure location based GPS/GSM application on the market. Symbian is the leading open operating system for mobile phones offering nanonavi an enormous new market.
"nanonavi is first to market by providing people, all over the world, a truly secure location based offering. Yet, what puts nanonavi ahead of the pack is that it provides families a way to care for each other, virtually," said August Schnabel, Chairman of Nanomatic. "The addition of the Symbian version provides the highest level of security on an open operating system: yet, no information will be provided to marketers, and family data remains totally secure."
People install the nanonavi application from Facebook, MySpace, BeBo, Hi5, and Orkut, and then download to their mobile phones to merge their macro-social information. The product differentiates itself by allowing people to access their contacts across their social networks, something unavailable in today's market. The nanonavi application also syncs with Nanomatic nanofinders, small devices that round out a family focused offering that provides a system for finding, alerting and caring for children, elders, assets and animals.
nanonavi is an application for consumers to plug in on social networks and download to their mobile phone. It mashes up all the relevant profile information of family and friends from every major social network to map to locations using GPS on any GSM network in the world. Consumers can stay connected to those they care about with a whole new layer of information to share and receive, including mapped locations, Geo-tagged photos or videos, and points of interest to show to friends across all major social networks so they can stay in contact via maps or satellite images. nanonavi, combined with its nanofinders, offer a powerful virtual care offering.
