Why this functionality isn’t built into the Nokia N82 and all Wifi and WLAN enabled phones? I don’t know. Have you ever wished that you can have your phone connect to your known WLAN hotspots before you carriers 3g or GPRS connection? You would save lots of money in data costs and get a faster connection. With Psiloc’s Connect application your N82 will now attempt to connect to WLAN before anything else when using any application that needs internet data. The process is done in the background so you don’t even really notice it’s going on.Thanks to Ricky from Symbian Guru bringing this to my attention, where he links to an great article by Zach from Symbian In Motion where you can find screenshots and a review of this new application.
For only $15.77 Psiloc Connect is worth the price. There is a free trial so you can try it out and see if you think it’s worth it. Keep in mind it will look for access points that you have already connected to, it doesn’t search for new access points. This may be a feature that will be implemented in the future. Remember this is the first version and there will be updates available hopefully often.
I personally haven’t got much use out of this application yet since I am not in areas with many access points, so if you have any technical questions you can head over and ask Zach at Symbian In Motion.
Would you find this application useful? Do you find yourself sometimes use your data connection because your just too lazy too search for a WLAN or maybe just forget?
