\"\"The first iPad owners are all going to be looking for Wi-Fi hotspots from day one due to the lack of integrated 3G. This is no different from most notebooks, and one of the biggest Wi-Fi providers has announced a new way to make purchasing hotspot access easier for iPad owners. Boingo<\/a> is the provider that has access to over 125,000 hotspots world-wide, and they have launched a new app<\/a> that allows iPad owners to purchase hourly access through an existing iTunes account.<\/p>\n

Boingo has monthly subscriptions that allow unlimited access, but this new program allows those who only need access occasionally to grab it in one-hour chunks on the go. The chunks of access are sold in 60 minute chunks of consecutive access for $1.99, and are purchased through an existing iTunes account. The Boingo app works on the iPhone\/ iPod Touch as well as the iPad, and notifies the user when a Boingo hotspot is available. Boingo hotspots cover many of the usual locations that people frequent — hotels, airports and Starbucks chief among them.<\/p>\n
