AT&T Officially Lists Wi-Fi Hotspot Access with iPhone Plans [Updated]
AT&T's iPhone website (under 'Plans' tab) has been updated to reveal that each iPhone plan now includes access to their "more than 17,000 Wi-Fi hotspots, including Starbucks all for use in the U.S."
It was first revealed last week that AT&T had quietly begun offering iPhone users access to their Wi-Fi hotspots for free (including Starbucks and Barnes & Noble). No official announcement had been made, however, and the service was abruptly turned off a few days later.
AT&T has remained quiet about this new offering, but it's clear they will be officially delivering this service shortly.
Update: AT&T has changed the text on their site to remove the Wi-fi reference. They delay may be due to the fact that AT&T Wi-fi has not yet been universally deployed at Starbucks.

This is GREAT news. Would be even better if we find out that you don't need to enter any username / password / mobile phone number.
i.e. you walk by starbucks, your iphone picks it up without you realizing, you quickly check your email and it does it via wifi seamlessly

awesome that we get this free!!!:D
Except it's not free- we're paying for it as part of the AT&T iPhone plan. If it were free, anyone with an unlocked iPhone would be able to use it too.
Does anyone know if this is working again yet? Anyone test it out?

I'm sorry AT&T, I can get much more done for less money. I was a former subscriber and happy with the AT&T phone service in the past, however in the US, this price for data and phone service costs too much for individuals.
ipod touch + public wifi (which is everywhere) + VPN = getting work done with security....all without a contract. :) (and I travel frequently for business nationwide)
BTW- when is apple going to have a removable battery in their iphone? I'd love to purchase one when they do. The ipod touch makes a great PDA and communication device (when its jailbroken).

anyone notice...
In order to use data such as email, Google Maps, YouTube videos and web browsing, AT&T recommends using iPhone in a 3G or EDGE Network (coverage viewer), or from a local Wi-Fi connection.
