I Have to 100% agree with Pimp. Hotspots are useless to the average joe!

I have to disagree with pimp. I live in a suburb of a big city and I get wifi almost everywhere I go. Especially if you go to the mall you can see about 20 different network choices. As for having to use special access to wifi networks that would otherwise be free is stupid. AT&T always has to screw ppl over someway. If they just stuck a normal wifi card in there we wouldn’t have this issue. I think apple should take some tips from the g1

Look,,,, if we were to take 200 randum folks off the streets of america,,,,and then ask how many of them,,,, to qoute you,,,” work out of starbucks and barnes and noble”. You probably get lucky to find 5 people. And thats being freakin super generous.

I would wager that most people that even DO go to barnes and noble or star bucks are JUST passing through. And NOT there to work out of. As in the Majority of people.

But to each their own,,,,,we can agree to disagree.

You make a good point pimp – but you need to keep in mind that there are a lot of people that work out of starbucks, barnes and noble etc… Again it depends on where you live too. If you live in SF, Seattle or Manhattan, there’s a Starbucks or two at every corner.

I personally spend upwards of 2 to 3 hours at a starbucks blogging just because I don’t have an office per se. So while I agree with you, I’d have to disagree so as result, we agree to disagree.

Ok,,,I keep reading these stupid stories on free wifi hotspots for Iphone users. Ok,, let me say this as average Joe Q. Public. First of all lets see,,,whenever I am going somewhere,,,,lets say a retail store,,,,restuarant,,,friends house,,,some office building,,,a sports bar,,,,park,,,,,etc,,,,I never find myself in a freakin hotspot. This stupid news on Att offering free wifi,,,,is laughable. What???,,,Is the majority of the Joe Q public hanging out in freakin Starbucks and Barnes & Noble. No “F’ing” not. That’s why there giving it away for free. Traditionally you give junk away for free. If you want me to get a hard on….give me HSDPA for free. Until then who really gives a ” F ” !!!!!
