AT&T Providing Free Wi-Fi Access To iPhone Users

MacRumors has confirmed that AT&T is providing free wi-fi to iPhone users at Starbucks and Barnes & Noble. Apparently, there’s a customized portal, accessible by an iPhone formatted page, where you enter your phone number and voila! Sounds good to me. I’ll have to go to one of the many Starbucks in the area where I work (midtown Manhattan), to give it a try.

UPDATE: According to sources, including MacRumors, it looks like AT&T has disabled this service. Perhaps it was a fluke or the company was just testing the wind. I’ll keep you posted and let you know if or when the service resumes.
