<\/span> Devicescape is hoping to meet smartphone users’ increasing demand for Wi-Fi access<\/a> by broadening support for its Easy Wi-Fi Network to include Nokia and Android-based handsets — beyond currently supported platforms such as iPhone OS, Windows Mobile, Windows and Mac OS X. Given Nokia’s impressive worldwide footprint and Android’s newfound momentum,<\/a> the move, announced today, should help Devicescape build its customer base in a big way — which will be crucial as the company goes after hardware vendors.<\/p>\n

Devicescape said users can download an app from the Android Market or Nokia’s Ovi to access hundreds of thousands of free Wi-Fi hotspots; the app also includes a map view for locating Easy Wi-Fi locations. The San Bruno, Calif.-based startup, which launched its network last month<\/a>, competes with service providers such as Boingo Wireless and iPass. Unlike its competition, though, the startup is hoping to cash in on the increasing demand for seamless connectivity<\/a> by targeting the makers of smartphones, netbooks, digital readers and other connected devices.<\/p>\n
