Hello Mobile WiFi device holders,
I am thinking about getting a mobile WiFi device on my next trip to America. I have read posts here that people see about 80% WiFi connectivity rate in Seoul, sounds good.

Can people get on the Korean websites with their WiFi devices (like Itouch)? Notably the Seoul Bus map and route finder:
http://bus.congnamul.com/SeoulRouteWebApp/view_english/map.jsp

I ask because most Korean websites that I use (maps. Banks, whypaymore) will only work on �Windows Internet Explorer�; they don�t work on �Firefox�. The Seoul bus map route finder wants to install an ActiveX controller by �Twinkle Little Star�. This loads and runs best for me only in �Windows Internet Explorer�.

Using mobile WiFi devices, can you run �windows internet explorer� and install those incessant Korean �ActiveX controllers�? Are you able to access that really handy Seoul bus route finder?

Thanks so much

That's Korea for you. Heavily oversaturated with scary Active-X programs. You won't be able to get much done without installing them. That's why I have a dumpy old computer on the side that I don't care about what gets installed on it.
