The only real bummer with Apple's iPod Touch is that it requires a Wi-Fi connection to be of much use, but FreedomPop is about to change all of that. 
Touting "free wireless internet," the Sprint MVNO has introduced the $99 iPod 4G Sleeve, a case that allows your iPod Touch to use up to 500MB of old-school 4G WiMAX absolutely free each month.
And that's not all: FreedomPop will generously increase your monthly WiMAX allotment in 10MB increments thanks to friend referrals and "partner offers and promotions," which could nab you up to 5GB per month.
The iPod 4G Sleeve is essentially a case with a built-in mobile hotspot, which allows up to eight devices to connect - including your iPod Touch, which can hop onto Sprint's WiMAX network using Wi-Fi.
Unfortunately, bargains like this always seem to come with a downside, and in the case of FreedomPop's offering, it's the fact that the sleeve isn't quite shipping yet. However, if you're eager to part with your $99, the company is accepting preorders on its website starting today.
Now if we could just get one of these with 4G LTE, we'd be in business...
