Yesterday, Devicescape, a company that aims to make it easier for you to connect your mobile device to Wi-Fi hotspots through the aggregation of data for over 1000 public networks, announced the creation of the Devicescape(DDC).

The DDC is “designed to speed evaluations and encourage non-commercial innovation.” Members will get access to source code and can license the Devicescape Connect 2.0 software (an upgrade released today) for free.

“Our mission at Devicescape is to expand the ease of use and the value of mobile internet services,” said Devicescape CEO Dave Fraser in a statement. “By expanding the ease with which a company or individual can engage with and integrate our technology into their devices and applications, we hope to accelerate the delivery of new Wi-Fi products and services to consumers.”

The source code is available for Windows, MacOSX, iPhone and iPod touch, Nokia S60, and Internet Tablets. Interested developers can apply to join the program by visiting this site.

According to Devicescape, its service supports millions of free and open hotspots worldwide, including commercial, municipal and free networks. In addition to those listed and pictured above, Devicescape should become available for more devices in the future.
