Next-gen Apple Peel adds voice and data to iPod touch, looks like iPhone 4 [video]

Accessories

Like Sprint’s ZTE Peel iPod touch case, the Apple Peel 520 gives Apple’s iPod touch the ability to connect to a cellular data network. Unlike the ZTE Peel, the Apple Peel also allows users to send and receive voice calls and SMS from an iPod touch. In other works, the Apple Peel picks up where Sprint’s iPod case left off. It looks like Yoison, the company behind the Apple Peel, is already working on a next-generation Peel that brings several additions to the table. The most apparent change is a redesigned case that makes the iPod touch look like an iPhone 4. Other changes include added support for Apple’s fourth-generation iPod touch (the current Apple Peel 520 supports the third-generation model), and GPRS data support in addition to EDGE. Unfortunately, however, it looks like 3G is still off limits. Yoison has not yet made any announcements with regard to pricing or availability. Hit the break for a video of the new model in action.

    It gives me hope that someday they big cell netowrks will focus on delivering data bandwidth, phone vendors will make optimal phones, and we’ll get our voice service from whichever VOIP provider we want!

      and someone will make a worthwhile spellcheck on android.

    edoug, you could just go back to school and learn how to spell. Just a thought.

      Not a bad idea. Proofreading when I type on a small screen would help too. A smaller help, though, would be (as I replied to myself earlier) a decent spell-check on my phone!

    Couple questions. Does this device work with apps that are not the ones off the jailbreak? Can you still use the rear camera on the iPod touch 4th generation?
