I've mentioned on other threads that I think Apple will probably release some kind of Internet tablet soon (if you don't consider the iPod touch or iPhone to be one). In fact, I wondered why Apple hasn't already done this and concluded that it was because wifi Internet access isn't ubiquitous.

Well, now Steve Jobs is interested in FON, the service whereby people share their home wifi in return for free wifi access while out and about. This would mean ubiquitous Internet.

Apple is just biding its time until everything is in place (or near as damn it). Remember that Apple has a habit of moving everything in place so it can sell hardware -- Nowhere to buy music for your iPod? Fine. Apple convinced the music corps to sell their wares online.

Google is already heavily into FON. Is Nokia interested in it?
