<blockquote style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote"> I set up my Google account on the device, and then realized I had no
network connection. My first response was to connect to our corporate
public network connection - but we just moved offices and I did not know
the WPA2 key off the top of my head. Instead, I pulled out my Virgin
Mobile Mi-Fi 2200 personal hotspot and turned it on. I searched around
Honeycomb looking for the control panel to select the hotspot and enter
the encryption key. To my surprise, I found that the Eee Pad had already
found the Virgin hotspot, and successfully attached to it. I literally
questioned myself, wondering if I had simply already attached to the
hotspot from the Eee Pad and forgotten about it. But that was not the
case.<br></blockquote><br>I'm really tired, but if the above event are correct, the device didn't have a network connection to download the so called list of encryption keys before he added his google account and the mifi. Unless android is able to download from the cloud from thin air I'm making the call that this is bs.<br>
<br>the simple answer is that his mi-fi didn't have a encryption key in the first place, hence it connected automatically.<br><br>Again, being a long day, I don't see how.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Peter Tiggerdine.<br>

Don't see why it's can't be true, my Blackberry does it (it syncs load of stuff back to the server, including nice things like my speed dial config). Can't turn it off.<br>

I like it, but then again I know it's there, and the BES and my phone are controlled by my employers.<br>
