An iPod-based Guide To SF Wireless Hotspots

Posted by timothy on from the creative-misuse dept.

Ryan MacCarthy writes "On the day Apple announces the 4G iPod, BayAreaFreeFi.com announces the wiPod , an iPod-based field guide for free wi-fi hotspots in the San Francisco Bay Area. Now when you are on the road you can look up a free hotspot quickly and easily right from your iPod. No, the iPod isn't wi-fi enabled. wiPod uses the Notes functionality of the iPod OS to store the database in an easy to use format. Enjoy!"

    Why is this even notable? If you're going to be getting wifi access, you're going to have your laptop. If you have your laptop, why would you keep a list of hotspots on your iPod? You'd be better off searching with kismac.
