It works on every major browser on the mac (Safari, Firefox, Camino, Opera, Omniweb) as well as email programs and RSS readers. I’ve used it for the past week and it works well. It will also index retroactively if you let it scan your history file.

I haven't tried it yet but it would be cool to have a map for your city loaded on your treo. It's not adhoc discovery of a hotspot but should show you where the closest one is. and that app allows you to filter on signal strength, WEP and SSID. sean yea, that one looks badass. so it also tells you whether the signal is encrypted – nice. like i was sayin’ yesterday on the mountain tho, i guess I just assume if the person is smart enough to change their SSID, they’ll be smart enough to encrypt their signal. i downloaded the <a href="www.palm.com/java">JVM for Palm OS</a> the other day and I know that wigle.net has a java client for browsing their offline wifi maps called <a href="http://wigle.net/gps/gps/GPSDB/dl/">jigle</a>.

But idealy the god damn Treo650 should have usable 802.11 skills. To be honest dood, if it did i would have allready set up my asterix linux based sip VOIP server and be making free VOIP calls all over town. SO i can see why sprint supressed the drivers so harshly. -b Aparently the price went up. 60 bux. but you can spot a wifi ( and SSID and WEB info. ) all on your keychain.
