Find WiFi hotspots on your iPod (Bay Area Only)
Just in time for the new iPods, BayAreaFreeFi has announded the WiPod, which is basicallly “an iPod-based guide to free wi-fi in the San Francisco Bay Area.” It’s a Note File with all the info from their site about where you can get your wireless groove on. The downside to this, obviously, is you need to regularly download the file and replace it on your iPod to have the most uptodate version (guess we’ll have too wait for the wifi enabled iPods that will auto sync with the master file!), but otherwise it actually sounds pretty handy. If there was an LA version I’d be using it in a minute.

Before anyone makes a wifi finder for LA, there will have to be some free hotspots in the city to locate. Pay wifi is at every corner Starbucks, but free wifi in cafes is sadly scarce in our fair city, with the possible exception of a few cafes in Silver Lake and, well, maybe two places on the Westside.
Check it out - it's sad. Burger King? Please.

this is a great idea so I've started to put one together for my hometown of Brighton, UK. We have so many open hot-spots now that the guide could be a very cool thing for visitors...
