If it's just the browser's reporting of what it is, could we trick it into letting us use free wifi on other phones/laptops? How does it recognize if the device is an iPhone or not?

Great choice by AT&T though. This is nice on the road, but being in a 3G area and WiFi at home we’ll see how often I get down on it. Great choice by AT&T though.

Originally, in addition to iPhone users, Starbucks card holders were supposed to get free wifi. It was pretty straightforward -- just get, like, a $20 card or something, and register it online, and I think you were supposed to be set. Did that change? Or is it working already? (Maybe they just haven't rolled that out yet.) Wait a minute, what happened? Originally, in addition to iPhone users, Starbucks card holders were supposed to get free wifi.
