Starting in mid-January, McDonald's is planning to begin offering free Wi-Fi to all of its customers. Currently, the fast-food chain offers free Wi-Fi via AT&T's hotspot service to all AT&T broadband customers as well as iPhone users. Under the current plan, all other users must pay $2.95 to access the Internet at its restaurants for two-hour increments. With the new plan to offer free Wi-Fi to all, McDonald's is set to become the largest restaurant network of free Wi-Fi hotspots in the U.S. with 11,000 outlets and more to come.

If you've been wishing for a better way to surf the Web on your PDA, the wait may soon be over. Jay Sullivan at Mozilla recently told the BBC that Mozilla's upcoming mobile web browser (codenamed Fennec) is just "days away" from being launched. Initially, the browser will be available for Nokia's N900 phone, followed by other platforms and devices. The mobile browser has been in development for the past year and a half. Some of its features include the ability to synchronize with the desktop version of Firefox as well as the ability to use add-ons similar to those offered for Firefox. The browser can also scale pages to fit the mobile device's screen and provides zooming capabilities.

Earlier this month, I told you Windows Mobile 7 could be out as early as the third quarter of 2010. Over the weekend, Microsoft's Phil Moore, the company's Head of Mobility UK, said Windows Mobile 7 has been delayed and won't be out until "late in 2010." This is definitely not the news any of us wanted to hear. Moore did attempt to reassure users by letting them know that when Windows Mobile 7 finally arrives, it will "give customers what they want" and that we'll get "flexibility on a much easier touch UI." Here's hoping the OS doesn't experience further delays.
