WOBURN, Mass., April 6, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Newly minted iPad owners can
now join iPhone and iPod touch users in experiencing the mobility and
productivity benefits of having one-touch access to all of their information
from virtually anywhere with a 3G or Internet connection, with the release of
LogMeIn Ignition for iPhone/iPad.

Now available in the iTunes App store, the latest update of LogMeIn Ignition
includes full support for the Apple iPad, providing iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
users with complete access to their office and home computers, including
Windows-based PCs and Macs.

"I purchased LogMeIn Ignition for iPhone the very day it was released, it has
been a godsend for me," said Zahid Razack of Mira Loma, CA. "The beauty of using
this on the iPad is [that] because of the fast processing speed and advanced
Wi-Fi/3G technology, establishing connections with remote computers and even
opening the app will be fast. And not to mention, the larger screen. You simply
cannot go wrong."

"With this latest version of LogMeIn Ignition, customers can use their iAnything
-- Pad, Phone, Pod -- to instantly and securely access their digital lives, from
wherever they are in the world," said Andrew Burton, Vice President, Access and
Management, LogMeIn.  "Whether it's accessing an important file back in the
office while you are camping in the woods, or showing off the latest picture of
the kids you have at home, the iPad with LogMeIn Ignition is the perfect
combination for keeping you productive at work and at play."
