Just noticed that Shaw has launched a new iPhone and iPad app dedicated to finding the nearest Shaw Exo WiFi Hot Spots.

It's quite good, been testing for a little while now. I like how I can filter by type of area. Locations has really grown since I last looked.

Is Shaw working on the Android version of this app?

There is an iPad specific version in development as well as plans for you Android users… stay tuned…

How about Blackberry?

Saw something that suggested phones and tablets for iOS, Android, Blackberry and possibly Windows Phone 7.

Actually, looks like there is an Android app in Google Play as we speak:

I downloaded the Android app. It uses your GPS location to show you the hotspots near you.

The Shaw EXO WiFi Finder app runs VERY slowly on my iPod - takes literally minutes to bring up a map of my vicinity.

I'm using a second-generation iPod ... but it isn't THAT slow!

Any one else having iPod problems? [It works just fine on my iPad.]

Any suggestions for a solution?
