I got a little news today

1. Boingo is launching retail and commercial services.  Chicago is just the first city and I’m sure it will grow.  Boingo will be covering convention space as well as showrooms.  I’m not sure what they mean by showrooms but I do know that if folks can pay for Boingo instead of the outrageous fees for internet at trade shows there will be some very happy customers.

2. The other piece of news I got today is from PayPal.  This is the second time they scared me.  Each time I get a call from them I think OH NO someone hacked my PayPal account and all my money is gone.  That hasn’t happened and it’s their PR folks calling to update me on something.  Today it was that PayPal is now in open beta with their online payments library for the iPhone and iPad.
I usually wouldn’t cover this kind of thing but they were so nice on the phone I just decided to.
