Find a WIFI spot near you

Maybe it's me but i haven't been able to successfully find a WIFI spot, with my first generation and non-3G iPhone, if I'm not connected somehow to the internet (WIFI...).
There are some apps out there, if you do a search in the app-store on "wifi" or "spot", maybe they work well if you walk around with your iPhone in a WIFI hotspot dense area.
In my usual habitat it's not a problem, becaue i know my usual suspects, but now I'm in Amsterdam, where the weather is grey and typical water-cold, i don't want to show of my mobile device too obviously for security reasons. And I'm not staying in a fine Le Quartier Hotel with free WIFI. I feel lost, i got lost and i need to download a map, maybe check out the website of public transport to see what tram to take and so on, all the things a healthy mobile and internet addicted person needs.
Well the easier way could be the check out this website with the worldwide WIFI spot finder : www.free-hotspot.com (Before you go on your trip )
Find the nearest hotspot and voila you take it from there!
And for the gadget-lovers they have also a iPhone app and a Skype tool.

Paris Metro iPhone app

Métro Paris l'application pour iPhone and iPod Touch, officiellement licencieé par la RATP est pour un temps limité disponible à 0,79€ au lieu de 4,99 €.
Donc le prix n'est plus une barrière pour avoir les plans de métro dans sa poche (bus, RER, tram sont également disponible). Avec tout les avantages que le papier ne peut donner comme la recherche de meilleur itinéraire, géolocalisation des stations le plus proches, repérage du station sur la carte Google Maps.

disponible en français, anglais, allemand et espagnole metroparisiphone.com



For a limited period the iPhone/iPod Touch application Metro Paris (licensed by RATP) is available at the iTunes store for only 0,79 € instead of 4,99€. No need to deprive yourself from this handy tool that can do more than the paper version: giving the geo-position of the nearest metro station, and showing that on a Google-Map and giving you the best itineraries.

Comes in English, French, German and Spanish version metroparisiphone.com
