Singapore startup rents out iPad for tourists

Rental fee is only US$24 per day for the first two days, and US$16 per day thereafter.

TouristPads, which started operation only last month, bills itself as Singapore's first iPad rental company catering to tourists.

According to co-founder Joshua Wong, loaded on all their TouristPads are tourist friendly local apps, guides, and maps, as well as a sim card for customers to get connected to the internet on the go.

TouristPads' Mr Wong also said that the company offers a fuss free way for travellers to make the most out of their stay the minute they arrive in Singapore by providing complimentary delivery of their iPads to their customers at the airport or their hotel.

In order to provide an even better service to customers, Mr Wong said that the company plans to expand the business with partnerships with travel related industries.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
