WiFind from Tasty Apps is a neat little replacement for Airport menubar item that adds some cool features. Specifically it shows right in the drop-down menu both whether or not networks are locked and also each WAP’s signal strength. This is surely a much handier way to check all those networks at your local coffee shop, rather than just trying to connect to each one. It is worth pointing out, however, that WiFind does its magic via a SIMBL plugin. (Read More)
Great opportunity to surface exactly the right information in a dashboard format. Both the signal strength and the password protection status are crucial when deciding what network to choose. I have 6 different wireless boxes in my house i can connect to, but I’m never sure which one is the right signal strength based on my current location. I haven’t tried it yet, but I will, and hope it lives up to it’s promise.
