Auto-Join Wi-Fi Hotspots with iPhone OS 3.0. If you’ve ever connected to the Internet at the myriad of popular Wi-Fi spots, such as in hotels, coffee shops, and airports, you know the drill.
I’m talking about the at least mildly irritating two-step dance you need to do before you can access the Internet, even when such access is free: 1. Join the Wi-Fi network. With your iPhone, this is usually as easy as a single tap on the network name, as there is no password requirement or other sort of restriction.

What makes this dance even more irritating is that you usually have to repeat it, re-entering the same information, each time you return to the same hotspot.
