Hey Niklas, thanks for sharing your startup with us! It looks great and it's absolutely a service I'd like to use. Maybe it's more like a "social network for wifi passwords" but whatever ;) Here's the thing though: my Android phone doesn't need this, it's got 3G and that's generally enough so I don't go through the hassle of turning on the battery-sucking WiFi just so it can notify me of new emails a bit faster. What does need an app like this is my laptop. Any plans for OS X / Windows / Linux clients?

OS X, Windows, Linux: Yes, yes and yes! Now we say that we sync passwords that's only between Android devices. I think the real killer is when we make an app your laptop that sync via bluetooth from your phone. Great that your 3G is working so well, for some reason I always have really bad coverage and am constantly asking for the Wi-Fi password.

  Bluetooth sync would be fine, as long as the laptop itself would be allowed to keep those entries stored until next sync. > Great that your 3G is working so well Where are you at? I'm mostly running around in Germany, UK, and well-connected parts of Asia so that's probably where my bias comes from ;)

  My PC doesn't have Bluetooth so I am biased against that solution. Maybe also allow Internet sync as well. I know this seems like a chicken and egg problem, but it would work in case today I go to my buddy's house and connect on my phone, but tomorrow I go and bring my PC.

Wifi uses less power than 3g.

Wifi is so much faster than most 3g connections for my phone. The only place I've seen my phones 3g connection being as 'instant' as wifi was in London. Also using 3g uses up a lot more battery than wifi. Also it could be handy for giving the pw out to others (easier than reading out a long random password. Especially if there's an error and have to read out and retype the whole password to your friend)
