on 03/29/2010, filed in Home > Apple

The Apple iPad isn’t released just yet, but that doesn’t mean companies are not preparing themselves to offer something for Apple’s hotly anticipated tablet when it hits the market this Saturday. Boingo is offering an app for the iPad that allows you to purchase credits for over 125,000 Boingo hotspots located worldwide, giving you access to the Internet as and when you need it. Known as Boingo WiFi Credits, you can “invest” as little as $1.99 in your account, taking advantage of the mapping feature to find the nearest hotspot to you. $1.99 will net you an hour of hotspot access, and it is also good for access via the iPhone and iPod touch. If you think you have the rub of the green, then why not download the app – if you’re the 1,000th person to do so, you will win a free iPad from Boingo.

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.

iPad: the iPad is Apple's tablet computer. While not "invented" by Apple (the newton was arguably a PDA), the iPad has re-ignited the tablet format as it appeared at the right time, with the right hardware and apps. the first iPad was launched on April 2010. It was followed by the iPad 2 in March 2011 and a new iPad (gen 3) in 2012.
