Of course, there’s certainly no shortage of tools ready to assist us in that task, but the folks at StarTech.com seem to think there’s room for at least one more, recently introducing its self-descriptive Wi-Fi Detective.

Also like some other WiFi detectors, the device can double as a USB WiFi adapter for your desktop or laptop (compliant with 802.11b/g), with the USB connection also used to recharge the device’s battery. If that sounds like what you’ve been looking for, you’ll be able to snag one of these next month for $75 — in beige only, it seems.

The overall design doesn’t deviate too much from the existing rendition, and while Mr. Lo didn’t get into the nitty-gritty per se, he did drop word that it’ll be lighter, smaller, have a much improved GUI, last longer on a single charge, and “work seamlessly” with hotspots. Unfortunately, there wasn’t even a hint as to when we’d see this thing hit the market, but click on through if you’re interested in seeing the (very brief) interview.
