Boingo Wireless, purveyor of Wi-Fi hotspots on the ground, has partnered up with in-flight internet company Gogo. The union of the two means Boingo Wireless accounts can now go online on airplanes, using their existing account information. Boingo users will still have to pay an additional fee for their in-flight internet, but are now saved the hassle of creating a new user account after braving the TSA lines. Gogo provides Wi-Fi to most major airlines, so mile-high browsing for Boingo users will be as simple as clicking to accept the flight fee. [TechCrunch]

Skin Scan, an iPhone app that claims to be able to check your moles for cancer, has received €50,000 in funding from Seedmoney to develop their software. The app uses an algorithm to assess the development of a mole, as photographed on your phone, based on what TechCrunch calls “the fractal-like shapes which exist in human skin.” The app does not tell you whether you have cancer, but it will suggest whether you should have your doctor check out your new mole. Skin Scan also tracks the locations of its users and updates a map with the data, which could eventually give us an idea of what skin cancer looks like mapped on a global scale.

The app won’t have file sharing because of how iPads handle files, but Skype’s excitement about the release makes it seem like the functionality of Skype with the camera of the iPad 2 will be a welcome addition to the tablet’s abilities.

Google’s AdWords advertisers now have more customization options, with the ability to target ads to consumers based on their browsing activity. Google started beta testing the behavioral targeting in 2009, but is now available to all advertisers.

There are more than a thousand categories in AdWords’s behavioral targeting program, which means more sales for the advertisers and more relevant ads for the consumers. [Search Engine Land]
