Well, it’s about time: yesterday, Starbucks announced that they would be activating free, one-click WiFi access across all of their United States locations, starting on July 1st.
For iPhone owners, this isn’t a big deal: they’ve long enjoyed free AT&T WiFi at Starbucks with their Frappucinos.
By opening up WiFi to everyone, though, Starbucks has finally allowed iPod Touch and iPad owners free access to the Internet… not to mention MacBook owners and the rest of those Android and PC toting plebes.
