All About Iphone

In case it has not been specifically said, one of my favorite features of the iPhone is its WiFi capabilities. So when I struggled with getting WiFi to work initially, I was bummed. You can read about what I did to fix it here. Regardless, now we move on and really start to see how WiFi is going to work with the iPhone. So Sunday morning I was going out to breakfast, and WiFi hits were popping up all over the neighborhood. I could see all the local routers. I even tried to attach to one unsecured network to see what would happen, but I got out of range too quickly.

Then today I was in the center of nearby McDonalds that offers WiFi, and noticed a pop-up for their network. I connected up, and in a few seconds I was browsing on their WiFi network. The great thing about this, though, is the iPhone remembers these things, so anytime I am in range of this WiFi in the future it will automatically switch over and use it. So anywhere you go where you can tap into a WiFi (that you are authorized to use), I recommend setting it up. Then in the future, even if you are not thinking about it, you can get all the benefits and speed from going through the WiFi network.

I am really pretty excited about this. I know a lot of people like to take about EV-DO and 3G and the rest, but honestly, the future of mobile communications is not going to be tied to cellular networks. It is going to be WiFi Maxi WiFi, Broadband WiFi and the rest.
