Ya want Wi-Fi in that?

Posted by David Meyer

According to the Wi-Fi Alliance, 56 percent of those surveyed want Wi-Fi in their next phone, although they´re "not always informed as to why they need it". The words of Karen Hanley, the Alliance´s chief - I was chatting with her earlier today at Mobile World Congress in Barca.

The Alliance didn´t really have much news to share this week (they´re not the only ones), other than to say that it has now certified 200 Wi-Fi devices in the Wi-Fi Protected Setup scheme - a programme set up to make the pairing of devices easier for consumers, using technologies like PINs and near-field communications. Oh, and 60-something percent of people would rather give up chocolate than Wi-Fi.

It was an interesting chat, though. IEEE
