Every ounce counts when you’re traveling abroad; unless you’ve got an Ultrabook, lugging a laptop around France’s wine country can get pretty tiresome, pretty fast. Some Internet tasks just don’t translate well to the small screen of a smartphone, though. What’s an iPad-less traveler supposed to do?
XCom Global, a leading provider of international mobile broadband access, just introduced a pretty cheap, pretty compelling answer; the company now offers Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 tablet rentals at the cost of $1 or $2 per day, respectively.
There is a string attached, of course. The offer only stands if you’re renting a MiFi hotspot from the company, which costs $14.99 per day and supplies an unlimited 3G data connection. Many international travelers already turn to XCom Global for its flat-rate, roaming charge-free data, however, so the MiFi may not seem like an extra charge — and it serves up a lifeline to the Internet no matter where you and your rented Nexus may roam. (Assuming your destination supports XCom Global’s 3G network, of course.)
