I've introduced you to several Wi-Fi locators in other posts. They're great for career women who need to do quick hotspot checks while traveling to check email. But unless you keep your Wi-Fi locator on your keychain, the odds of forgetting it at home are high.
Busy women don't have time to dig through their purse to find what is supposed to be a handy Wi-Fi detector either. Why carry around a separate Wi-Fi detector when you can get one on a pen you can safely tuck inside your planner?
I found this Wi-Fi pen via the Red Ferret Journal, that works by pushing a button on the barrel. Green, yellow or red lights will indicate the signal strength within an area of 50 feet.
The handy pen also emits an LED beam when you twist-open the top of the pen, which could come in handy when you need to search through your purse at night.
Isn't that a great concept? Would be nice if Wi-Fi detectors were integrated in things we already carry around in our bags, like our cellphones.

Why not put a price on it ? If there is no price, I always think that it is too much for me !!
