NYCwireless has a hotspot system to meet both the advertiser’s objectives
and the surfer’s demands for usability WITHOUT interstitials or multiple
pop-ups.

NYCwireless’s SuperNodes (aka wifidog) use a little web page module to let
the user know they’re still logged in.   It also includes information from
the hotspot sponsor.  A rotating banner ad on this page will not be so
distracting, and since the user knows to keep this web module open, it’s
more persistent than individual pop-ups.

You can check out http://wifidog.org/  for more information on the software.

[nycwireless] Inexpensive PDA netstumblers?

2006-02-19 Thread Rob Kelley (yahoo)
I'm thinking it would be good to set up a half-dozen PDAs for site
surveying.   

I'm wondering if at this point, how far you can go back in PDA history and
still build a manageable netstumbler. 

Has anyone been down this road before? 

At this point, I think the specs would be:

* Either have an integrated wireless card (unlikely) or support a Compact CF
or SD wireless card
* Support ministumber or some other AP tracking software
* Cost less than $100?

If this doesn't work or is too expensive, it may be a matter of coming up
with some old laptops to serve the same purpose, but I'd like to use PDAs.
