Canary Wireless has a neat hot-spot finder when you’re not sure where to go for a free Wi-Fi connection. They call it the world’s first Wi-Fi spotter with LCD.

Why is an LCD important? It tells you the signal strength, and if the hot-spot is free (‘open’) or not.

Interestingly, this product has been designed to be branded –meaning it’s a ideal giveaway item that can be ordered from the company site.

Ok, so one more gizmo for the laptop bag –beside the power cord, USB multi port, and digital camera card reader!
