FreedomPop has just announced that its WiMAX-capable iPod touch cases are now shipping. The sleeve wraps around an iPod touch and uses the Clearwire network to create a local Wi-Fi connection for the touch that is nomadic.
The sleeve costs $99 and reportedly operates for six to eight hours on a single charge. FreedomPop also is working on a mobile VoIP app, allowing a FeedomPop-equipped iPod touch to function just like a mobile phone.
