FreedomPop is a company that makes MiFi cases that slip on your iPhone or iPod touch, essentially allowing you to carry one device instead of two separate ones. But the new iPhone 5 and iPod touch 5th generation are taller, so the current cases won't fit. I reached out to FreedomPop about whether or not they are working on new cases and this is what they said:
Because our Freedom Sleeves do not need an iPod or iPhone in them to function as a hotspot for other devices, you will be able to connect the new Apple products to our 4G Network through the iPod/iPhone Freedom Sleeves. However, the iPhone/iPod Touch 5 will not physically fit inside the current iPod Touch Freedom Sleeve. We are in the development stage of a device to work with the new ones, but we do not have a release date set yet.
So they are working on new cases, but at this time have no release date for them. In the meantime, the old cases will work, just not fit, so you'll have to carry two devices.
Please note that FreedomPop currently uses WiMax, which is not supported in all areas. According to their website, there is no WiMax coverage in my area. This may change in the future and other technologies may be added, but for right now FreedomPop just uses WiMax.
