This app is just like the WinMo version that's on all T-Mobile phones. It supplies your username/password to HotSpot access points to connect you so you don't have to go through the webpage-based login form every time.

I'm confused, I thought we got free hotspot usage on the G1's?

The app says "Your G1 Phone lets you use Wi-fi at thousands of T-Mobile HotSpot Locations. Simply turn on Wi-Fi and Surf"

We do, it's included with the G1 plans.

All T-Mo data plans (except T-Zones) include HotSpot use for free.

Hotspots are free to use if you already have a T-Mobile data plan... This is how a rep described it to me.

Though few of us will be scoping out hotspots just to suck up some 'free' bandwidth, they are useful on vacation. S Bucks seems to be the most widespread.

So . . . if we have the G1 data plan w/ free hotspot access--will it only let us use the actual G1 or could we, for instance, bring a laptop and get free wifi on it too?

T-Mobile HotSpot access can be used by any WiFi device in the account holder's possession. This includes laptops, iPod Touches, anything that is WiFi enabled.
