Are there any plans to develop a security package for android tablet PCs?  Would my VISS software work on my android tablet?  I have the same question about the WIFI client that allows you to search for Verizon hotspots.  Are there any plans to develop this for the android OS platform?

Based upon the post overheard/spotted in http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/WiFi-Connect-Utility-for-Mac/td-p/294039

I'm not sure when this happened or if it's always been true, but you can use Verizon Wi-Fi with other devices now. See http://wyang0.blogspot.com/2012/01/verizon-wi-fi-f​or-all-devices-mac-linux.html


I suspect the answer is no.

As pointed out in the other discussion threads, Verizon is better off scrapping the stupid Wi-Fi authentication software and switching to the traditional method of Web-based authentication. Every mobile device capable of using Wi-Fi these days comes with a web browser or some form of browser to access a login page. All Verizon needs to do is set up such a system. Wi-Fi Hotspot locations are already equipped for it, and nothing proprietary and buggy is needed.
