Detect Wi-Fi hotspots right from your pocket? Sounds a little strange, but it is actually the key chain device in your pocket that will preform this little bit of magic for ya. MSNBC reports that Mobile Edge has the coolest thing since the Wi-Fi honey pot. It is called a Signal Locater and it is unreal! I know what I am wanting for X-Mas, no doubt about it.

When I travel I love to find WiFi wireless networks I can use in a pinch. It’s become easy to find WiFi in hotels. But, in airports, train stations and even outdoors in parks I’m sometimes forced to open my laptop or PDA, and log-in to see if I can find an open network where I can check my e-mail.

My search has been made a whole lot easier. I now have one of Mobile Edge’s WiFi Signal Locators. It is a small keychain/fob type of device which is a lot more sophisticated than it looks -– and to me it looks like one of those wireless, remote car door openers.
