Sweet. Says there are 8 places in the new neighborhood I am moving to.

Even sweeter, Google maps integration (on desktop, didn't test iPhone yet)

On the iPhone, google map links open in the Maps application (though driving directions don't seem to link properly). As it's the Maps application, Backing to the previous page isn't as easy.

I enjoy hotspotr.com, which also has a mobile (not iPhone optimized, but still) version found at m.hotspotr.com. The great thing with hotspotr is that the community helps fill in the hotspots.

Didn't come up with one correct place in 07030. Gave a couple but they weren't even in the town.

So, it was a complete miss. Maybe they can update their database.

Not very complete yet.....

There are tons of places in Richmond, VA with free Wifi access.. mostly coffeee shops and restaurants. It did not show a single one...

I used JWire on my iBook but can not figure out why anyone would want to use this for their iPhone since it looks for WiFi signals and connect via Edge if non are available. That's more than JWire ever did on my iBook
