Nokia to bundle Devicescape in E-, N-series for easier WiFi access

Remember Devicescape, the beta application that helps you easily connect to WiFi hotspots? Nokia certainly noticed the service because they’re going to bundle it with their E- and N-series devices. Devicescape offers a seamless and interesting approach for WiFi configuration so you don’t have to jump through hoops to get connected. According to Techworld:

"The software works by sending a request to Devicescape’s site, evenbefore the user is logged in, by piggy-backing information on the DNSprotocol, which is open on every hotspot. A DNS request transmits aquery to the Devicescape site, and a legitimate DNS packet returns theinformation the handheld needs to log into the Wi-Fi hotspot."

If you can’t wait for Devicescape on your Nokia smartphone or want to try it with Windows, OS X, Windows Mobile or Nokia Internet Tablet, you can download the client directly.
