Today, leading provider of wireless broadband services Clearwire Corporation announced the launch of a new 4G-capable device on its airwaves, the CLEAR iSpot. According to the company, the new product comes as a personal hotspot with dedicated support for Apple's mobile devices, including the iPad, iPod touch and iPhone. The new iSpot is meant to offer true mobile broadband speeds to the owners of these devices through providing them with access to Clearwire's CLEAR 4G services.

“With the iSpot, Apple customers don't have to sort through confusing service plans with overage fees, nor do they have to worry about how much data they're using,” said Thomas Enraght-Moony, senior vice president of marketing at Clearwire. “Instead, with CLEAR, customers can run all of their Apple mobile devices at true broadband speeds for a single, simple monthly fee.”

The new iSpot is the first 4G personal mobile hotspot on CLEAR that offers dedicated support for Apple's mobile products, including the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch devices, the company announced. The hotspot has been designed so as to offer users the possibility to share the 4G connectivity between up to eight Wi-Fi-enabled Apple mobile devices at the same time. In addition, it comes with an ergonomic design and with a white casing, specifically developed to fit the iconic image of Apple products.

“Using CLEAR super fast mobile internet service, Apple's iPad, iPod touch or iPhone can access a rich mobile broadband experience with average mobile download speeds of 3 to 6 mbps with bursts over 10 mbps. For example, using the CLEAR iSpot an iPad user can stream unlimited movies or television shows via the Netflix app from home, work or on the go, while an iPod user can stream Pandora music or live sports play-by-play on the commute home,” the company announced.

The iSpot is available for purchase from the CLEAR website and should be put on sale via all CLEAR stores around the United States come August 10th. The devices comes with a MSRP of $99.99, and can be coupled with unlimited 4G data usage on Clearwire's airwaves for only $25 without having to sign for a lengthy contract agreement.
