AT&T's iPhone 3G customers can finally get free WiFi at Starbucks and other AT&T hotspots. AT&T's 3G service is spotty (to say the least), which is especially frustrating for those of us spending $30 a month for the service. Free WiFi is the least AT&T can do for forcing so many iPhone 3G users suffer on the EDGE network.
