Devicescape Software has released the second generation of its award-winning wi-fi software, Devicescape Connect 2.0. The company says the upgrade expands coverage by allowing devices to instantly access potentially millions of free and open hotspots. By combining out-of-the-box connections to free or open hotspots, with a growing choice of subscription networks, and auto-access to home and other personal networks, Devicescape 2.0 provides for network coverage that is global and fully customisable. 
For device manufacturers, Devicescape now provides a comprehensive wi-fi solution that immediately connects any device to millions of hotspots around the world, without the consumer having to do anything. The device registers anonymously with Devicescape, and begins connecting to free and open hotspots immediately. Consumers can upgrade and expand their access when and how they want. Additionally, Devicescape is compatible with all operator networks and can also be customised for operator partners to include network credentials out-of-the-box. This allows manufacturers to easily work with any provider around the world to distribute bundled solutions on any type of device, the company says.   
For consumers, Devicescape 2.0 provides immediate access from any device, including wi-fi-enabled mobile phones and cameras, to millions of hotspot locations. 
Over the past year, we worked closely with device manufactures, operators, and our customers to create a solution that meets individual as well as global needs, says Devicescape CEO, Dave Fraser. Devicescape 2.0 allows consumers to create the very best wi-fi coverage for them, with access possible at millions of locations, from all their devices.
Devicescape has also announced the launch of the Devicescape Developer Community. Developers and device engineers can download Devicescape SDK source code for free via a simple online form and license agreement available here.
Devicescape 2.0 is in the Devicescape SDK and available for download for Windows laptops and Nokia series 60 devices, and will be available shortly for Windows Mobile Smartphones. Devicescape is also available for Mac OSX, Apple iPhone and iPod touch, and Nokia Internet Tablets. Devicescape is free for consumers and is available for download here.
