1. A wireless mobile communication device comprising:

  • a Wi-Fi data communication system configured to wirelessly connect to a Wi-Fi access point and to wirelessly communicate data between the wireless mobile communication device and the Wi-Fi access point;

    an operational condition detection system, including a location sensor, configured to detect a turn-on operational condition of the wireless mobile communication device, other than actuation of a user-operated control, including when the location sensor determines that the wireless mobile communication device is near a Wi-Fi access point; and

    a Wi-Fi activation system configured to autonomously turn power on to the Wi-Fi data communication system upon detection of the turn-on operational condition of the wireless mobile communication device by the operational condition detection system, other than actuation of a user-operated control, including when the location sensor senses that the wireless mobile communication device is near a Wi-Fi access point.
