LOS ANGELES, California – Nov. 12, 2007 –

Boingo Wireless Inc., which provides access to the world's largest network of Wi-Fi hotspots, today announced that Boingo Mobile software is now available for Nokia N800 and N810 Internet Tablets.

The company released similar software for select Nokia S60 handsets last month and for Windows Mobile devices in February.

Boingo Mobile automatically authenticates Wi-Fi enabled mobile devices to Boingo's network of tens of thousands of hotspots across the globe for only $7.95, €5.95, or £3.95 per month.

"It simplifies connecting in public hotspots and enables roaming access to the world's largest network for the lowest price in the industry."

Boingo's release of the Boingo Mobile software and service optimized for Nokia Internet Tablets coincides with Nokia's launch of the N810 Internet Tablet, a pocket-sized Wi-Fi device that was announced Oct. 17 and shipped Nov. 9.

Boingo Mobile service and software is compatible with select Nokia S60-based Nseries and Eseries smartphones (e.g., Nokia N95, Nokia N93, Nokia N80, Nokia E61, and Nokia E65) and Linux-based Internet Tablets (Nokia N800, Nokia N810).
