Can't Find A Wi-Fi Hotspot? Let This T-Shirt Find It For You
| October 9, 2007 |  View for printing |
Consumers walking around a Wi-Fi intensive area are likely to light up like ambulating Geiger counters.
For geeks who never liked all those sports team and resort location T-Shirts, they now have their very own T-Shirt: it's the Wi-Fi Detector Shirt.
The shirt features glowing bars that illuminate as the wearer gets closer to an IEEE 802.11b or g access point. Offered for $29.99 from ThinkGeek, the shirt is powered by three AAA batteries hidden in an inside pocket.
