Here’s another fine mobile tip for you travelers… how would you like to never again have to pay those crazy fees for WiFi that hotels like to slam you with… I’m sorry, but I’m not about to pay a hotel for WiFi if I’m already paying $200+ a night to stay there! Enter JoikuSpot. Simply pout, if you have a smartphone (Symbian OS.. sorry) like an N95, N82 etc… you can grab this free app ( a pro version also exists) and you can turn your device into a hotspot… very simple. no more sniffing for free wifi from lounges and other hotels, coffee shops etc… all you need is your device and a data plan. The app was recently recognized in the Forum nokia innovation series. For more information www.joikuspot.com. Remeber, paying for WiFi is for suckers… much like paying for free GIS data!

Unwrapping another new GPS-enabled smartphone (Samsung SGH-i560)
GPS is all the rage and pretty much every new smartphone on the market should come with GPS inside in my opinion. I just got my hands on the latest from Samsung, the SGH-i560 (for the fashion conscious, trend setting blogger… is that me??), a Symbian OS 9 smartphone running S60 3 and has GPS inside among loads of other goodies… here’s the unboxing. I haven’t had a chance to mess around with it yet but this will give you a sneak peek. My son is also teen-testing their latest music focused device, the SGH-i450.
