A Must-Have Gadget for My PowerBook?

Posted at 2:51 PM

Spotted on Boing Boing and Gizmodo today, Kensington’s WiFi Finder might be the must-have gadget for my PowerBook that doesn’t even connect to it. Kensington claims it’s “the only WiFi detector on the market today.” But at 2.95 inches long, 0.39 inches high, and 2.17 inches wide, it seems a little too big for my pocket. Maybe that hook is supposed to fit on my computer case (which is not made by Kensington)?

Update: I found out from Scott Knaster in a comment on Diane’s blog that this gadget costs less than 25 bucks! As I wrote in the next comment, “My American Express card has some work to do!”
