I'll use this blog as a scrapbook to track how WiFi technology is used on phones. My impression is that cellphone makers initially put WiFi chips on phones just to provide a high-bandwidth connection to the Internet. At the time they did not realize the huge potential that this technology has for connecting your phone to other devices on a local network. WiFi (as opposed to Bluetooth) can be used to connect to all sorts of devices on an IP network, from printers to your toaster. I'm calling this local network WiFi enabled devices around a phone a wifonet, hence the title of this blog.
In this blog I will monitor news, products and ideas that unleash the WiFi promise on cellphones.
