FreedomPop today announced that it is shipping its WiMax-enabled accessory for the APple iPod Touch. The sleeve, which adds WiMax 4G wireless broadband to the iPod Touch, costs $99. FreedomPop began offering mobile broadband services under the beta label earlier this month. The company resells access to Clearwire's WiMax network, though it will eventually switch to Sprint's LTE 4G network. FreedomPop is offering 500MB of mobile broadband for free each month, with additional gigabytes costing $10 each. The company isn't selling phones; rather, it is offering a mobile hotspot, a laptop dongle, and now the iPod sleeve. The hotspot and laptop dongle are "free," though they require refundable deposits of $89 and $49, respectively. FreedomPop is also offering rewards for certain customer behaviors. For example, customers who sit through ad can earn an extra data each month, and customers who refer friends or family can also be rewarded with additional buckets of data. FreedomPop is offering data speeds ranging from 4 to 6Mbps down and 1 to 2Mbps up.
