Not to be outdone by Apple and Google with the recent news in mobile GPS tracking of users, Nimtendo chief, Satan Eyewater, told reporters today that the 4PS will feature an even more impressive user tracking system.

The Nimtendo's chief told us: "the [tracking] system found on the iPhone is really premature. The device only submits the data to Apple every 12 hours and stores it in a hidden file on the device, which makes it difficult for fans of the user to find out where they've been; of course, not that any iPhone users really had any fans to begin with. The 4PS's system will revolutionise the mobile tracking market and easily allow fans who idolise the 4PS user to track their exact movements."

Indeed, the 4PS's tracking system is quite a bit more advanced than the solutions from Apple and Google, not only offering more features, but also closely integrating with the social networking craze.

Significantly higher accuracy than conventional tracking systems - the 4PS can detect location to the nearest milimeter
The device will record the user's location 10 times per second
The device will automatically upload data every 2 minutes - to the user's Twitter account, Facebook wall and Nimtendo's database
The system can detect significant locations, as well as user movements and automatically format posts. For example, rather than tweeting GPS coordinates, the device is clever enough to post "going to the toilet", "arrived at home", "walking past strip club" or "bouncing up and down on bed"
Nimtendo is introducing their new "track a gamer" system, which allows you to find other 4PS users near you. Nimtendo understands that speaking is awkward for a video game nerd, so it hopes their system can encourage social interaction
The tracking system is powered off a separate battery, which is recharged whenever the main battery has power. This helps ensure that the tracking system is always active, even when the main battery runs out.
In line with the 4 dimensional capabilities of the device, the device is capable of quadrangulating the 4 dimensional location of the user, unlike any other conventional GPS system

Privacy advocates have applauded the new system. "The iPhone secretly tracks where I go, and it's something I never asked for," says one such user. "This? This is like a dream come true! It would bring a whole new experience to social interaction!"
