Thank you, Lewis.Surely. Tom may have some better suggestions than the latest Kensington; better check those first. It's not the $$ for the unit (obviously), it's the value for the buck. $30 for a gadget that only detects half of the available networks or gives you no SSIDs just isn't as valuable as a little box which may be slightly larger but gives you more pertinent information.

Can anyone suggest/recommend a device to detect the presence of public

in order to find out if there are any hotspots nearby?
The ideal device should be small, have a display that shows the name(s)
of the available nets if any found, and be cheap...

However, there is a newer revision available. The WiFi Finder Plus ( http://us.kensington.com/html/5703.html ) seems to be a better gizmo than its predecessor:
