WiFi Detecting ball point pen

Built into this ball pen is a WiFi detector. Push a button on the top of the pen and a series of 4 LED lights will light up to indicate the signal strength of nearby wireless networks.

Powered by 2 cell batteries, this pen is capable of detecting B/G networks but it will not indicate if the network is password protected or not. However, priced at less then $14, you can expect a high degree of sophistication with this gadget.
