A rash of Wireless@SG apps

Overnight, we have been visited by a plague of free Wireless@SG apps. On Feb 5 and 6, Apple approved three apps, namely Wireless@SG SingTel, Wireless@SG M1 and Wireless@SG iCell.

The last two sport a similar interface and look like they were done by the same developer. Wireless@SG SingTel has a different opening screen but also offers the same basic features, ie. the ability to automatically log-on to a Wireless@SG network, details about that hotspot and locations where you can find other hotspots run by that operator.

These three apps join two older apps that help you log on to the free wireless network, 1-Click Wireless@SG and SG Wireless.

(Tip of the hat to iMerlion reader Izhar for alerting me to this!)

All 3 new apps don't work! I tried to log into Wireless@SGx. Firstly, the wireless icon does not appear on the top of the iPhone when I presumably connect to the SGx SSID. I then executed the Wireless@SG app, and after a while, it says, "connected" below. But when I exit the app and try to surf, it disconnects and I am back using 3G; or it will connect by itself to Wireless@SG, not SGx.
