Quite a statement Joel. In my tests I found that these 5 finders hardly "sucked", in fact they were extremely invaluable. You might get more functionality out of a PDA's WiFi finding, but you can't compare the size and *price* to something like the Canary Wireless which is only $49 and has incredible functionality, or the Kensington WiFi Finder Plus which even scans for bluetooth connections (plus wifi) for $29.99. It isn't fair to assume that everyone has a PDA, nor should everyone be getting one just to find a WiFi connection. Hence the market for WiFi detectors.
