This is an excellent find from Dusan over at Intomobile:
A company called PadInTheCity is running a neat business, renting 3G iPads to interested tourists in Madrid, Spain to help them get around the city. Each iPad comes preloaded with a number of applications and unlimited data — all for 25 EUR per day. That’s kinda steep especially for those staying longer in the capital of Spain.
I think I’d buy this, definitely. Right now it’s only available in Madrid however Dusan reports they’re aiming to extend operations to other cities around the world.
It’s a great concept. As Dusan points out, €25 a day does add up if you’re in the city for 2 weeks, however if you’re just there for two days, it might actually be really useful, especially given you’ve got unlimited data as well.
Nice idea. Find out more at www.padinthecity.com.
Excellent idea, although the huge deposit will be a barrier to many. They probably have insurance for all sorts of damage on those iPads and I’m hoping they cover it up with some ZAGG shields or cases at the least 🙂
It’s a shame isn’t it? I wonder if they couldn’t get the hotel to assure or guarantee it as part of the room rate?
Really great and excellent idea.
