FON Wi-Fi Connection Manager

Lot's of people have been asking about automatically logging onto FON access points. I don't have a release date to share with you but we have signed an agreement with Spotigo for our FON Wi-Fi Connection Manager. This will allow Foneros with window devices and Symbian smartphones to detect and connect to FON access points automatically!

Drop me line and we can talk about getting this feature to Mac Users as well...

If you are looking for a solution that automatically logs into FON hotspots for Windows XP or Windows Mobile 5 (including Smartphone) check out Devicescape's free software & service.

We also have support for the Nokia 770 web tablet and the Linksys WIP300 Wi-Fi VoIP handset, and we're working on getting more devices supported too.

Nice idea. But maybe better is add support for 802.1x into La Fonera (probably as next SSID} and then can any Wifi device with this support connect automatically.

Don't forget about support for LINUX users.

Keith - You can try autologin-applet. It isn't fully automated but if does part of the job.

i got 2 problems with "FON WiFi Connection Manager":

1. it looses connection
2. while using it my phone comes often into the endless state "Connecting to"

maybe it has smth to do with energy saving as it were meant somewhere in net. but i hve no idea how to change this yet
