I’m in Starbucks. Again.

But this time I’m connecting via my Vodafone Nokia E90’s WiFi WalkingHotspot service, using the 3G data signal of the phone.

I couldn’t ever get Joiku to work myself although I know a lot of people have been loving it. Well, I downloaded a WalkingHotspot trial last night and it’s pure genius. All it required was a phone restart and bish, bash, bosh, I was live. It’s really simple. Launch the application, select ’start’ and that’s it. It’s connected and operational ready for your laptop — in this case, my MacBook Air — to connect. Two or three cheeky people have tried connecting. When they do, you get a prompt on the phone asking if they should be given service. No way.

So. Very, very VERY useful indeed.
