iPass Inc. and Nokia Enterprise Solutions today announced they are developing iPass wireless connectivity software for the Nokia 9500, the Nokia 9300i and the Nokia Eseries devices. Based on the award-winning iPassConnect(TM) universal client, this software will extend availability of the iPass secure remote access service to users of Nokia Business devices.
This is super. For a long time I’ve used iPass for my travel Internet access, and it was always a frustration when I heard that iPass had no plans to do a software implementation for mobile phones. (It had done one for PDAs, though.) However, it seems like something has made them change their minds. Yay!

Sort of scary here – in Illinois, iPas refers to the tollway pass boxes. The thought of it working off all 3 of our Nokia phones every time we went through a booth would have been a problem here!
Oh. 🙂 No, iPass is a worldwide internet access solution. You set up an account with them through your ISP, usually: or if your ISP doesn’t offer them, you can get access via various web-based ISPs like Worldial. You download a special dialer which (when you update it) lists both local dialup numbers and wireless hotspots for wherever you are. Very useful.
Oh, I got that after I read the article! But the headline was what was scary!
