Although still under development stage, this "skin" will be able to make your iPod touch equipped with voice and also SMS. The skin includes an extra battery, SIM card slot, Vibrator and external buttons (volume and power). Sadly, it doesn't includes GPS nor 3G but GPRS is still underway. It also bundles with 2 apps, 1 for calling and 1 for SMS, which obviously needs ahem *clears throat* tongue.gif

Estimated market value: 388 RMB (approx. RM182)

In my opinion, it's still a good buy because if you compare a real iPhone and a combination of an iPod Touchand this Apple Peel 520, definitely the combo is worth it if you only want call and SMS functions. If the next gen iPod does include camera, it will be a good combination.

If you don't mind the larger size and bulkiness, then come and wait together for its release~ icon_rolleyes.gif

UPDATE:
Looks like they've mass production-ing the Apple Peel 520. It's gonna sell for about 388RMB (Approx. RM180). Available in China since yesterday (20/9/2010). For now, it will only support iPod Touch 1st, 2nd and 3rd gen. 4th not yet due to its camera layout, but a US company is going to develop and bring it to the US of A...

Final version design


UPDATE 2:
Looks like this product has a high demand and they selling in for quite the amount on ebay. However, if you cant wait any longer and you don't mind paying a bit more, do check out this website. Free worldwide shipping, too. BTW, normal retail price is a bit higher than previous, 77USD.

UPDATE 3:
More updates! M.I.C Gadgets is also selling the Apple Peel 520 for 99USD and it's still cheaper than ebay and the previous link... Still worth paying if needed urgently.... PayPal accepted too...

Last and Final UPDATE:
Looks like GPRS is going to be supported soon and Apple Peel 520 is selling all over the place, even our garage sales section. I recommend looking in the garage sales section as it is much cheaper and more reliable. Do buy it at your own risk though....
