Are there any good wifi scanners out there?

Hi all

I was just wondering if there are any half decent wifi scanners or stumblers out there that update more frequently than every 60 seconds.

Something where you could be walking or driving up the road and get a more realistic signal quality readout without having to wait so long

I ask because I just bought a VOIP account and its very cheap and would much prefer to hop on open wifi networks and use my VOIP minutes than expensive cellphone minutes.

You'd think after all this time there would be a half decent application out there, but I can't find one

Something like NetStumbler or Kismet

Thanks in advance if anyone knows any good wifi finder tools it would be much appreciated

cheers

Wefi is good (wefi.com with phone browser to download).

Also try Barbelo, Wifi Radar, Psiloc Hotspot Finder, Handy Wifi.

No Aircrack-type app yet available for symbian phones.
