WeFi Officially Launched S60 Application
Quick and Easy Wi-Fi Access for S60 Users
 After the shorter period of the beta testing, the WeFi Inc, creator of the first open community-based global Wi-Fi network, announced today the official launch of its freeware software for the Symbian S60 devices, offering users automatic access to the best Wi-Fi connection available.
WeFi’s software launch on Symbian, the largest operating system in the global market with over 60% of mobile phones, is further proof of WeFi leading the way in providing quick and easy Wi-Fi access to users around the world.
WeFi is effectively making mobile Internet connection fast and easy-to-use for Symbian users.
After downloading and installing the free software fromWeFi’s website, www.wefi.com, when asked to choose an access point, users can simply select "Automatic – WeF", and WeFi will connect them to the best connection. Users can also program your mobile device so that "Automatic – WeFi" is the default connection for any application.
After having established itself as a leader in bringing open Wi-Fi hotspots to people around the world, WeFi is now increasingly penetrating the mobile market with this latest feature on Symbian phones, in addition to a recently released version available to Windows Mobile users.
WeFi always seeks to connect users to Wi-Fi access points where Internet access has already been verified by other WeFi-enabled devices – dubbed “community-verified spots” - in a growing network of over 2.5 million access points.
Symbian users can also register the WeFi software on their personal computers, and then benefit from easy access to WeFi’s social networking tools, including a map of Wi-Fi access points on which they can pinpoint their friends in real-time, send messages and share photos and other information.
“The current launch on Nokia S60 phones demonstrates our commitment to creating a truly seamless Wi-Fi experience,” said Zur Feldman, CEO of WeFi. “Thanks to WeFi, the sizeable number of Symbian users around the world can now forget about a long and complicated manual search for a Wi-Fi hotspot, and benefit from a simple one-step process to launch any application, wherever they are.”
In the near future, we will also include the powerful WeFi community engine that helps you find and select active connections quickly, based on rating and information collected previously by other users.Of course, you can still store your own passwords and manually connect to specific spots.
