Boingo is a WiFi hotspot supplier that, according to the company, “includes 58 airports, the Washington State Ferries, and several sporting arenas and convention centers… Boingo gives consumers the best choice of WiFi hotspots by combining more than 125,000 locations from 167 leading WiFi operators around the world into a single worldwide network spanning 103 countries.”

Any time you try to connect to airport WiFi, you can rest assured that Boingo is the supplier. It’s usually around $5/hour or $10/month depending on what you’re using to connect. Not a bad deal if you’re a frequent traveler.

What’s incredible, though, is that the iPad has overtaken Android, Blackberry and WinMo connections within four days of being released. It now sits at just over 5% overall usage, which is an astounding number considering that only the WiFi models have been released. Compared to another WiFi-only model, the iPod Touch, it’s clear that most people are using their iPads as laptop replacements when they leave on trips. Obviously these statistics don’t include laptop usage, but it is clear from this pie chart that the iPad is a run-away hit amongst travelers.
