Vodafone Australia is trialling Pocket Life, a mobile service that combines telecommunications with online social networking and the location-based capabilities of a Global Positioning System (GPS).Pocket Life integrates all existing mobile communications capabilities, such as voice, SMS, picture messaging with GPS and the web, enabling friends and family to share their current locations, favourite places, real time directions and intended destinations.
Developed as an independent web and mobile internet service, Pocket Life is currently free to download, subscription-free and compatible with more than 30 mobile phones. The Pocket Life application can be downloaded from www.pocketlife.com and is available to customers on any mobile network in Australia and most mobile networks worldwide.
Pocket Life customers on most networks will simply pay the mobile data charges associated with downloading maps and transmitting information to friends.
Pocket Life features a ‘Favourites’ page, which enables friends to rate and review movies, bars, clubs and restaurants while sharing precise GPS coordinates for specific locations and routes.
Following more than one year of development, the release of the beta version is to gain feedback from users, which will potentially drive further development and refinement of the application.
