TripIt Travels to iPad

San Francisco-based TripIt, which recently became part of Redmond, WA-based Concur (NASDAQ: [[ticker:CNQR]]), announced today that its mobile trip organizer system is now available in the form of a free app for the Apple iPad. “Now, travelers can access all their trip reservations in one place on the top-ranking tablet—including air, hotel, entertainment and more,” the company said. “With the swipe of a finger, road warriors can enhance their travel experience by accessing a new mapping feature along with GPS-enabled driving directions, airport information, and even seat assignments, all designed to make traveling easier.” Concur, which helps large companies manage travel reservations and expense reporting, said shortly after the acquisition that TripIt would become a key mobile platform for Concur clients.

Between 2007 and 2014, I was a staff editor for Xconomy in Boston and San Francisco. Since 2008 I've been writing a weekly opinion/review column called VOX: The Voice of Xperience. (From 2008 to 2013 the column was known as World Wide Wade.) I've been writing about science and technology professionally since 1994. Before joining Xconomy in 2007, I was a staff member at MIT’s Technology Review from 2001 to 2006, serving as senior editor, San Francisco bureau chief, and executive editor of TechnologyReview.com. Before that, I was the Boston bureau reporter for Science, managing editor of supercomputing publications at NASA Ames Research Center, and Web editor at e-book pioneer NuvoMedia. I have a B.A. in the history of science from Harvard College and a PhD in the history and social study of science and technology from MIT. I've published articles in Science, Technology Review, IEEE Spectrum, Encyclopaedia Brittanica, Technology and Culture, Alaska Airlines Magazine, and World Business, and I've been a guest of NPR, CNN, CNBC, NECN, WGBH and the PBS NewsHour. I'm a frequent conference participant and enjoy opportunities to moderate panel discussions and on-stage chats.
