Wi-Fi Hotspots for Smartphone Users
in Europe
TapRoot Systems, a developer of software solutions for the smartphone
market, has announced that its "always-with-you" WalkingHotSpot Internet
connectivity solution is now available to purchase from http://www.walkinghotspot.com.
With one-time software download to a Wi-Fi-enabled smartphone,
WalkingHotSpot transforms Windows Mobile 6 and S60 3G/Wi-Fi smartphones
into "walking" hotspots. Users can also retrieve e-mails, browse the
Internet, on Wi-Fi enabled devices such as laptops and MP3 players.
According
to the company, Wireless subscribers do not need data cards, cables,
dongles and multiple service/hotspot plans, because WalkingHotSpot allows
the option of consolidating connectivity subscriptions and expenses into
one economical solution.
The
WalkingHotSpot team is touring Europe this week to introduce this
application.
"WalkingHotSpot
was launched as a beta-trial earlier this year, and Europe has proven to
be one of our top markets," comments Bob Bicksler, CEO of TapRoot Systems.
"Combining the proliferation of smartphones in Europe with the mature 3G
infrastructure makes a strong user scenario for WalkingHotSpot. We see
Europe as a significant market for this application. With WalkingHotSpot,
users can feel confident they have a reliable, secure, inexpensive and
readily available Internet connection wherever and whenever they need it."
Symbian
OS and Microsoft Windows Mobile smartphone users can now purchase
WalkingHotSpot at http://www.walkinghotspot.com for a one-time fee of
US$24.99 (approximately euro 18) for the lifetime of the phone or as a
monthly plan for US$6.99 (approximately euro 5).
A
