Pronto hits your wallet in the Sweet Spot

What's the big problem with WiFi hotspots? Well, aside from finding them? It's logging in and getting going, of course, and Pronto Networks and Sweet Spot Solutions are taking aim with their new oh-so-cleverly-titled Pronto Sweet Spot, a USB hotspot key that you pop into your laptop granting you instant network access to the nearest Pronto hotspot. Nah, they're network isn't as big as T-Mobile's (yet) but we have to give it to them, the potential for making WEP/WPA encryption something regular people don't have to fumble with makes this a much better idea than just sending your unencrypted credit card info and login credentials next time you're logged into one of those insecure hotspots out there.
