Boingo releases a C++ WiFi API for Pocket PC May 18, 2006 [Wireless (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ...)] | By Edward J. R. Basically what it lets you do is if you are a C++ developer you can use their library to write an application that can connect to a wireless network. 
Boingo Wireless announced the Boingo Embedded Wi-Fi Toolkit, an open source software package that enables developers to integrate Wi-Fi connection management to any Wi-Fi hot spot – including the more than 45,000 public hot spots that are part of the Boingo Roaming System – into small form factor devices such as dual-mode phones, VoIP handsets, mobile gaming consoles and other portable devices. The Boingo Embedded Wi-Fi Toolkit and supporting documentation are now available on SourceForge.net (http://boingowifitool.sourceforge.net) in BREW, Linux, Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Mobile 5 versions. Additional documentation and test tools are available at the Boingo Embedded website (http://www.boingo.com/embedded). The Boingo Embedded software is designed for service providers, OEMs, ODMs, and Wi-Fi chipset manufacturers that develop Wi-Fi equipped devices and want to enable global roaming on commercial hot spot networks. Potential customers include mobile operators, MVNOs, VoIP providers and other service providers that can benefit from Wi-Fi access in public places. The toolkit has been delivered to numerous partners, including Accton, Broadcom, E28 and Kyocera Wireless. (See separate release.) “Today’s mobile devices are increasingly Wi-Fi enabled, but none had a simple option for utilizing public hot spots until today,” said Dave Hagan, president and CEO of Boingo Wireless. “Whether capitalizing on the broadband speeds of a Wi-Fi hot spot for streaming video, VoIP calls, multi-player gaming, uploading vacation photos or downloading music from online stores, users will now be able to extract maximum value from their devices whether they’re at home, in the office or in tens of thousands of Boingo hot spots around the world.” Original source of this story is here, where you can learn even more about this release.
