One interesting application of the Wi-Fi capability of the Tungsten C is wardriving; that is, driving around finding Wi-Fi networks in various locations. There are various programs to do this on various platforms--on the Tungsten, we've got Bits 'n Bolts' recently renamed NetChaser (formerly WiFinder).
I've taken to mounting the Tungsten to my car's dashboard with some Velcro, launching NetChaser, and listening for the beeps showing the program found networks. It's pretty amazing how many wireless networks are out there in the suburbs of Long Island, not only in office parks and Starbucks (which uses T-Mobile as its provider), but in ordinary homes. I have noticed a few things, though:
I haven't tried using any of the networks I found, both because I'm driving at the time and because it's bad netiquette (not to mention potentially theft of service), but someone else probably will. Meanwhile, remember to TURN ON YOUR WIRELESS ROUTER'S SECURITY! Oh, and if you're interested in some the legal implications of running a free hotspot, you can read my BizLawTech Blog entry on the subject here. {Jonathan}

The chances of getting eaten up by a lion on Main Street aren't
one in a million, but once would be enough.

Has a voice that will shortly be heard.

He's about to devise
An unprintable three-letter word.
