Ball Pen with Wi-Fi Detector (Images courtesy USBFever.com)
By Andrew Liszewski

Oh look! Another pocket-friendly device for hunting down wi-fi networks. From my experience these things never work as well as you’d hope, but at least this one doubles as a ballpoint pen so carrying it around isn’t a complete loss. Pushing a small button on the end of the pen will cause a series of 4 LEDs to light up, indicating the signal strength of a nearby wi-fi hotspot, though it’s limited to B/G networks and it doesn’t provide any indication if it’s locked down or not. But at just $13.99 from USBFever.com, I don’t think anyone’s expecting that much from it anyways.
