14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile phone users who travel abroad and would like to take along with them locations for some of the Cafes and Restaurants around the world that offer free Wi-Fi connectivity can now easily do so with the new application available for iPhone and BlackBerry devices, called Free WiFi Cafe Spots. The new app can prove a rather great option for mobile phone users, as it can be used even when no Internet connection is available, and even without a GPS receiver.
As many of you might already know, enjoying wireless connectivity outside the country can sometimes turn into a rather costly feature. This might become an issue when you are on vacation and still need the Internet to find specific locations or information about a route you'd like to follow. The new Free WiFi Cafe Spots is an application meant to help you save your money by showing where the coffee shops and restaurants that have free Wi-Fi access are located.
Data Roaming on the iPhone and on BlackBerry devices can be easily deactivated, while Wi-Fi connectivity is not something to leave behind, and users would be able to surf the Web using this feature present on their handsets. The Free WiFi Cafe Spots application comes with a list of more than 14,000 Cafes and Restaurants that have free Wi-Fi, and which are located in the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia.
According to the developing company, more locations are to be added with future updates for the app, and they should cover other continents and countries as well, including Africa, Asia and South America. Basically, in the near future Free WiFi Cafe Spots should be able to provide users with the location of places that offer free Wi-Fi about anywhere around the world.
Unlike other applications, Free WiFi Cafe Spots stores the locations of the free Wi-Fi Cafes and Restaurants directly on the device and does not require Internet access to retrieve the info. Moreover, it can list the near locations on the handset based on the introduction of a name or a Zip code. At the same time, the app can also list them in accordance with the user's Geo location.
Those who would like to try the app can find it available for the iPhone / iPod Touch on the iPhone App Store, or for all BlackBerry devices on the BlackBerry App World.
