Freedom Sleeve on 1Sale.com

This is not exactly breaking news, but I just stumbled across something on 1Sale.com, which was formerly called 1SaleADay.com. They are selling the big old clunky Freedom Sleeve for $30:

This site usually takes a couple of weeks to ship. The sleeve is pretty clunky, and it only directly connects with an iPod Touch 4th generation. You could connect to other devices via WiFi, as it can serve as a hot spot.

You do get some free internet access out of it, but I think this will only work on Sprint's WiMax network. Based on my experience, you won't be able to use it to replace your real phone. But it's still a sweet deal if you already own the iPod Touch 4th gen. Or at least it is worth considering.

1Sale.com is a clearing house/liquidator. So it's not the latest and greatest, but you get what you pay for. As long as Sprint keeps offering WiMax.
