App in the Popular Finance Category uses Skyhook for Improved Location

BOSTON, MA - August 26, 2009 - Skyhook Wireless®, provider of the patented Wi-Fi Positioning System (WPS) and the hybrid positioning system XPS, today announced a partnership with TIE Your Money, a personal financial management app for Android.

TIE tags the locations of users' financial transactions. Consumers are now relying on mobile banking applications to keep track of their finances, and the ability to capture precisely where transactions were made is invaluable.  By integrating TIE's financial management features with location, it helps users manage their money more closely and in a more organized fashion.

"Banking is one of the hottest new areas in mobile," said Kate Imbach, director of marketing at Skyhook Wireless.  "Location is a crucial element to these apps that makes managing finances even easier."
