1) it is a quick and useful guide to free wi-fi hotspots.
I've been on the road in several occasions where a client has called needing to discuss certain matters that require Internet access. I can now look quickly through my iPod list for nearby locations to stop during our meeting.
no, it isn't just a text file. it's a directory of text files that make use of the iPod's Note browsing ability. You pick your city, then you pick the wifi place, then it gives the address.

Reasons wiPod is useful and rocks:
1) it is a quick and useful guide to free wi-fi hotspots. I've been on the road in several occasions where a client has called needing to discuss certain matters that require Internet access. I can now look quickly through my iPod list for nearby locations to stop during our meeting.
I used to be able to do this via the WAP enabled wifi hotspots, but now I can use the wiPod for instant access to bay area free wifi locations.
Using WAP requires me to connect my phone to the internet, and to the right site (even if bookmarked). But the iPod is instant!
The WAP wi-fi version is good too, but the iPod is just faster.
2) supporting local businesses is good for the community. Rather than support the big guys, Bay Area Free Wi Fi supports local cafes and businesses.
3) it's super fast. in a couple of seconds you can identify all free hotspots throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
The wiPod is a very useful resource for finding Bay Area hotspots, and if you don't think so, then just don't download it.
It's all offered for free!
