Five handy applications for Wi-Fi

Some of these sound pretty useful, I especially like the idea of the Wi-Fi inspector as I have been having some interference in my home network and have to keep switching channels.

I am a little curious about the Hot Spot Shield though. The idea of protecting my privacy while on a public hot spot sounds like a great idea but how exactly how does making it look like I am in CA when I am really in NY help that if someone is on the same hot spot. Will that really fool their sniffer and prevent them from finding my computer?

Recently I was playing with some of the very popular network monitoring software's and I came across several very interesting products that can monitor your network using mobile devices. Some of them such as solarwinds, manage-engine, PRTG, SparrowIQ.
They all use flow technologies.
