New WeFi feature for Windows Mobile eliminates Tedious Connection Process and Makes
Mobile Internet Access Fast and Easy

Delaware, USA, July 9, 2008: WeFi Inc., creator of the first open, community-based
global Wi-Fi network, announced today the launch of a revolutionary new
'one-touch-internet' feature for Windows Mobile, providing users with seamless
access to the best Wi-Fi connection relative to their location at the simple click
of the touch-screen. As opposed to the existing tedious process of manually
searching for Wi-Fi access points, opening a web browser and then clicking on the
requested application, WeFi is effectively making mobile Internet connection fast
and easy-to-use for the first time ever.

WeFi's unparalleled one-touch-internet feature gives the Windows Mobile user a
convenient interface to launch any application or webpage from the "Today" screen,
automatically finding the best Wi-Fi connection available when this application is
launched. In addition, each application can be configured in advance to use only
Wi-Fi, or revert to 3G or 2.5G data connection if no Wi-Fi access point is available
- so that a seamless connection is constantly maintained.

WeFi also prepared a video on YouTube to demonstrate how easy WeFi makes it for
Windows Mobile users to connect to the internet on their mobile device.

A leader of the open Wi-Fi trend with easy-to-use downloadable software that enables
automatic connection to the best hotspot around, WeFi is now strengthening its
foothold in the mobile market with this latest feature. WeFi always seeks to
connect the user to Wi-Fi access points which have been automatically
community-verified by other WeFi-enabled user devices, in a growing network of over
1.5 million access points. Windows Mobile users can also register the WeFi software
on their personal computers, and then benefit from easy access to WeFi's social
networking tools, including a map of Wi-Fi access points on which they can pinpoint
their friends in real-time, send messages and share photos and other information.

"WeFi understands that when on the move, people are looking for a service that is
fast and easy," said Zur Feldman, CEO of WeFi. "Although most cellular phones today
incorporate capabilities to enable Internet connectivity, people seldom enjoy these
features because they are so hard to access on their device. Our groundbreaking
feature for Windows Mobile not only eliminates the current long, cumbersome manual
search process, but also allows users to find a reliable Wi-Fi connection that is
free and open, wherever they are. We are proud to truly open the door to mobile
Internet for everyone for the first time with just one touch".
