The ideal WiFi-tool for frequent travellers and mobile professionals.

Watch TV, make Skype calls and IM: everything’s possible with a free WiFi connection. But if you have ever tried to use the Pocket PC’s built-in connection manager, you know what a hassle it can be to quickly check your mail or browse the web on the go. You will have to tap multiple buttons, wait, manually browse through a list of networks and connect to one, wait again and then launch your email. Many Pocket PC users don’t use the built-in WiFi because it’s so complicated to connect.

Pocket WiFi Radar automates all of this. It’s main goal is to let you get your mail or surf the web as quickly as possible, without having to go through all of the connection trouble, and without having to pull your creditcard.

You may walk around and it will keep scanning untill it finds a free internet connection for you. It plays a sound and opens your webbrowser as soon as it succesfully finds an open, unsecured access point. But you may also use it to connect to your WEP-secured access point, or open any other program when it connects.
