Park WiFi Detector
Parkcast

These two apps are to celebrate the opening of their NYC store. They've WiFied 10 NYC parks and these are apps for that.

I love typo's

From the nokia site:
"This handy application will automatically detect a free Nokia ParkWiFi network in the range and get you connected in quickly."

in quickly? i think they meant to say "in seconds"
lol@ nokia

it'd be nice if the wifidetector wouldn't crash my itT all the time.

update: had to turn off background scanning before I tried to do anything

It never crashed mine. Got 2006?

Update: OIC.

Update 2: Just crashed mine. And wouldn't let RSS load. Bugger. Still, it *looks* pretty... maybe a sign of OS 2007?

i am liking the auto connect with the background scanning without having to open up a browser window. although i wonder how much of a battery drain it could be if its scanning all the time

what is the difference here with the in-bult thing that comes up with available networks to connect to? I use that to find hotspots/wifi connections when I'm out and about all over the place?

Any screenshots?

fredoll | # 9 | 2006-09-12, 11:26 | Report

differences :
- auto-connect
- can launch an previously specified app when connected to a specific network

I'll see if I can put some snaps in the Gallery.

Edit: Done.
