http://wireless.infocomm123.sg/ has a list of wireless@sg hotspots where you can get free wfi. Click on the "where to find wireless@sg" button.
Lovely, but how do you go online while you're out to find out where the nearest hotspot is?
To avoid this stupidity, Thus there is also a program that you can download and bring with you on your PDA or smart phone. Click on the "Download offline wifi finder" and pick from the version that match your PDA or phone. For my Asus N311 PDA, I installed the version for Windows Mobile 5.0 PPC. No graphics, just text, but that should be enough for me.
It is said that some service providers may not work as well for you, maybe due to conflicts between your laptop/pda and their router. You will be able to see the operator from the list and maybe see which area to avoid.
The site works with IE but not Firefox. No firefox?! It suddenly looks incredibly outdated. Fortunately the downloaded version saves me from ever having to open IE to come back to the site again.
Note, the data bundled with the software looks like it was last updated more than 6 months ago. So you should update the data after installation. You can do so from the menu, but you obviously need wifi or a phone with GPRS/3G. Library@Orchard(closed since Dec 07) is still in the downloaded list, but it vanished after the update.

"Best viewed using IE 6.0+ or Mozilla Firefox 2.0"
anyway, it's not stupid to have an online finder. you could be at home planning with your colleagues or project mates where to meet to discuss your stuff, then u go online and check out possible locations. it's like street directory online. you search before you leave. there's a use for both the online and offline version.
