The transformation of how consumers leverage technology is upon us in Rhode Island. Peapod, the leading online grocer, announced it is now offering an app for the iPad. Building on the success of PeapodMobile, which allows customers to create and manage shopping lists and place grocery orders from their smartphones, Peapod developed an iPad app to give tablet users to shop.

The FREE iPad app includes the following features:

    * Search – type in search words or enter a UPC to find exactly what you need.
    * Weekly Specials – save money with the thousands of items on sale each week.
    * My Lists and Previous Purchases – easily shop from the items you've bought before.
    * My Specials – choose from a list of your past purchases on sale this week.
    * Guess My Order - a speedy way to shop that adds the items you frequently buy with a single touch.
    * Optimized Views - the ability to view items in a list or grid format (exclusive to iPad).

"We are excited to expand our technology to the tablet platform," said Thomas Parkinson, Chief Technology Officer for Peapod. "Our customers are tech-savvy and demand smart, engaging and well-made solutions to simplify their lives. We think the Peapod iPad app will satisfy that need."

PeapodMobile is available for FREE for iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad, Android and Palm Pre users.

Founded in 1989 as a shopping option for busy people, Peapod today stands as the country's leading Internet grocer, serving 23 U.S. markets in communities in the states of Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, New York and New Jersey.
