Just a few days ago, our Robert Nelson posted on the availability of free Wi-Fi at Starbucks and Barnes & Nobles, which at the time seemed to be a legit and intentional offer. Now, it seems the service was premature as its been yanked back into the ether. Rats.

It seems in places where the service worked, it no longer does. Sadly, even after a quick trip to our local Starbucks, we were greeted (as seen in the screenshot) with paid Wi-Fi only. According to MacRumors, AT&T refused to comment on the snafu. I am sure we can expect an announcement shortly, perhaps even in time for a big Apple announcement in June. You know, if Apple is inclined to make one.
