Why-Fi?
Because. For a while it seemed that some aspects of Wi-Fi tech (bluetooth, etc) was a solution with out a problem. There were BT devices but really not any applications for them. Now we are at a point where cool new ideas are popping up that use wi-fi. Today I saw this story about a pub in England that uses a combo bluetooth and .11b access point to allow patrons to display photos stored on their camera-phones on a big-screen TV in the pub. They can also send IMs and SMS that get displayed on the screen, as well as receive SMS from the bar to their phones. Pretty limitless possibilities for new social interactions, not to mention the ability to order another pitcher in a crowded bar via your phone.
