iFob(TM) 2.0 Real-Space Social Networking Developed for the Apple iPhone 3G
MISSOULA, Mont., June 11 /PRNewswire/ -- iCloseBy.com today announces the
latest release of iFob(TM), the popular real-space social networking software.
As an accepted member of both the Apple Developer Network and Apple's iPhone
Developer Program, iCloseBy.com has used the Apple iPhone SDK and has
developed iFob 2.0 for Apple's consideration. iFob 2.0, including all of the
functionality of the earlier versions of iFob (still available free download
for Windows PCs), now has the unified look-and-feel of other Apple native
iPhone software apps, as well as a newly added ability to
'real-space-real-time' locate other willing iFob users from GPS-like
cell-tower triangulation.
iFob is unique software which uses the built-in Wi-Fi communication of
Apple iPhone, iPods and PCs, and turns these devices into homing beacons,
broadcasting, or just listening, for other close-by copies of iFob. With
iFob, people create tiny social networking profiles that are carried around on
their iPhone or PC, which are easily changed depending on the situation and
presence of other iFob users who are close by. Unlike social networking sites
such as Facebook or My Space, iFob only displays lists of iFob users who are
actually in the same hotspots at the same time as each other, meaning that
iFob users will be close enough to look up and exchange smiles. iFob is used
as an icebreaker to real conversations.
iFob software for PCs is still a free download from
http://www.iCloseBy.com. iFob 2.0 software for the iPhone 3G is currently
awaiting approval by Apple to be distributed at no cost through the Apple
store.
About iCloseBy.com: iCloseBy manufactures the iFob(TM) line of software
products for the Apple iPhone, Apple iPod Touch, Apple OSX and Windows PCs.
iFob is Wi-Fi software which turns the iPhone, iPod Touch, and laptops into
social networking "beacons" which let people meet each other in any public
hotspot. By only showing connections which are so close by that they could
look up and smile at each other, iFob brings reality back to social
networking. iFob software for PCs is still available as a free download from
the company web site http://www.iCloseBy.com.
iCloseBy LLC. is located in Missoula, Montana.
