  SAN BRUNO, CA, Nov 12 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Devicescape today announced that the Easy WiFi Network (www.easywifi.com)
-- providing first-ever free access to the world's largest WiFi network
-- is now available for Android and Nokia phones. With Devicescape's Easy
WiFi Network, Android and Nokia can offer its smartphone customers access
to free WiFi anywhere in the world with no strings attached. The Easy
WiFi Network allows people to move beyond traditional WiFi restrictions
such as paid hotspots, hotel or airport packages to now access WiFi
globally for free.

    Android and Nokia smartphone customers can download their Easy WiFi
Network from Android Market, Ovi by Nokia or www.easywifi.com. The Easy
WiFi Network delivers a high-quality hotspot network, which combines
global WiFi access with an easy-to-use hotspot map finder. Easy WiFi
allows Android and Nokia smartphone users to find and connect to hundreds
of thousands of hotspots all over the world and is monitored 24/7 to
guarantee optimal WiFi connection performance.

    "Nokia is the number one phone manufacturer in the world and Android
continues to gain market share. In fact, Gartner predicts that Android
phones will represent fourteen percent of the global smartphone market by
2012," said Dave Fraser, CEO of Devicescape. "Devicescape is committed to
delivering great WiFi products to device manufacturers, ranging from
popular smartphones -- such as Android and Nokia -- to gaming devices by
Nintendo or Sony. For the first time ever, device manufacturers can
deliver an end product with built-in WiFi and a global WiFi service plan."

    Easy WiFi Network members can "personalize" their network access by easily
tapping into other WiFi network accounts. These additional networks might
include those that are bundled with consumers' cellular or home service,
commercial accounts or communities they belong to such as university
campuses. This personalization allows users to extend their map-view to
include Easy WiFi hotspots with all of their other accounts. When a user
has personalized their account, the map finder will be updated to include
all of their hotspots, allowing them to be logged-in automatically,
everywhere.

    Pricing and Availability

    The Easy WiFi Network is free. To become an Easy WiFi Network member,

Store, Android Market or Ovi by Nokia.
