You could cut away the "shp" suffix like this:
ogr2ogr -f "MapInfo File" mapinfo/${file%shp}tab $file
I am not fully sure what "real world co-ordinates" means, but this
additional switch might do what you expect:
-t_srs epsg:4326

As suggested, better to use ogr2ogr.
if you use linux:
1- Create an empty text file in the folder where your shapefiles are
located
2- Open the text file and copy paste these:
mkdir ./mapinfo
for file in *.shp
do
ogr2ogr -f "MapInfo File" mapinfo/$file.tab $file
done
3-save the file as convert.sh
4- from the terminal, run convert.sh
$ cd /PATH/TO/SHAPEFILES/
$ sh convert.sh
5- all your mapinfo files should appear under mapinfo folder.
Cheers
