Free Wi-Fi for iPhone Users — For real

AT&T finally provides free Wi-Fi for iPhone users. iPhone owners should have received a free SMS text message on this announcement. Check out http://www.att.com/attwifi

How does this work? Go to an AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot; the network name is "attwifi". Once you are connected, you will enter your mobile number and you will receive a SMS text message with the information to enable access for 24 hours.

I don't know if this was a good timing for this move since the hype kind have died out. Personally, I've been using the Starbucks Rewards Program's free Wi-Fi so it's not really a big deal anymore. Although, if AT&T pulls out the service again, probably it will create some news again...

Go To Starbucks Oct. 2 and Get a Free iTunes Card

Now a happy announcement!

Starbucks will be launching a campaign for their tie-up with Apple's iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store. The press release mentions about a free music giveaway for the coffee lovers.

...
In celebration of this historic launch, Starbucks announced today that it will introduce the digital music experience across all of its U.S. company-operated and licensed stores by offering its customers the “Song of the Day,” an unprecedented free digital music promotion. From October 2 to November 7 at more than 10,000 Starbucks locations, customers may receive “Song of the Day” cards redeemable on the iTunes Store for Mac or PC (www.itunes.com) for a complimentary song hand-selected by Starbucks Entertainment. Throughout the promotion, Starbucks will give away 1.5 million downloads on iTunes per day for a total of more than 50 million free songs.
...

So, everyone, go to Starbucks and get your free music! (Don't get disappointed by going before 10/2. Or after 11/7/2007...)

BTW, Starbucks in San Francisco Bay Area will NOT be providing the actual Wi-Fi Music Store service until early November. So you need to go get your free music before it rolls out in this area. A little weird, but free is free.
