Devicescape has gone legit on the iPhone, iPod touch: I was tired of entering hotspot passwords 15 months ago, a few days after I bought the first-generation (2.5G) iPhone. I’ve been waiting ever since for Devicescape to bring their Wi-Fi connection software to the iPhone, even at one point jailbreaking my iPhone—rendering it able to install any software, not just that approved by Apple—in order to use an early package they’d developed.
Devicescape has finally wended its way through Apple’s tortuous application release process for the App Store, and its Easy Wi-Fi program can be yours for $1.99. (The application release date is 13-Aug-2008, but the press release about its availability showed up in my mailbox last night.)
I purchased Easy Wi-Fi, entered my Boingo account, cleaned up some personal passwords, and tried it out. Works like a charm. I’m about to head out on a trip (posting will be light, for those paying attention), and not having to enter passwords in airports will be a great pleasure.
