I have an idea
 
As a stand alone product this is not that exciting. But if this company merged with http://boingo.com/ then they'd be on to something.

They already do it's one of the options on the list. I have just signed up for the free trial on boingo and will give it a go when I am next out.

Re: Upcoming Review- DeviceScape
 
I installed DeviceScape on the N800 yesterday. Unfortunately, only their Windows client really supports all the features they are touting right now. However, they do still list the service as 'beta'. If they get things fully implemented for embedded devices, then this would be quite handy.

Of course, for it to really work, it needs to make it into a lot of embedded devices. So the real question is, how willing will the various big companies be to playing with a realtively small company for something as critical as the WiFi connection manager.

On my laptop, though, I am still using the Boingo Wireless Connection manager. The DeviceScape system doesn't currently seem to understand hotspot aggregators like Boingo, which really front many hundreds of SSIDs. DeviceScape still appears to assume that there is a 1-to-1 association between SSID and HotSpot provider service.

All in all, I'm glad I have something for my N800 now. But truth be told, with the current state of DeviceScape, I'd still rather have the Boingo Wireless Connection manager ported to the N800. DeviceScape is on the right track, though, and could eventually get to the point where it would be a valid replacement for the Boingo manager.

worked for me with t-mobile.de, will check with my regular/free networks when i come back home.

note: be sure to remove the @t-mobile.de domain name from the username when registering the hotspot, else it won't login.
