'WorkSnug helps iPhone users locate Wi-Fi hotspots'

WorkSnug.com has joined forces with Plantronics to launch a new iPhone 3GS application in the UK that guides mobile workers to the nearest and best place to connect to the internet, simply by holding up their phone. WorkSnug uses Augmented Reality so that users can see Wi-Fi hotspots and potential workspaces in their vicinity right on their screen alongside their real-life surroundings. With WorkSnug, users simply hold up and point their iPhone, and the potential connection spots float alongside the real-life, real-time image of the users' environment. The WorkSnug team has discovered and reviewed hundreds of places to work. After visiting many hundreds of places to work, WorkSnug found that the largest single barrier to productive and relaxing work, or even just making a call, was noise. This is why each workspace is rated by the WorkSnug team for its ambient noise-levels. WorkSnug is currently launching for the London metro area and will soon be be available for the San Francisco Bay Area, New York, Berlin and Madrid. The website WorkSnug.com, which is scheduled to become active in early 2010, will mirror the functionality of the iPhone app while providing a complete platform for mobile work community building.
