The FCC just posted documents for a curious Sprint-branded case called the ZTE Peel 3200, packing its own battery and EV-DO connectivity in addition as mobile hotspot capabilities. Could it turn your iPod Touch into a Sprint VoIP phone?
Apparently the Peel doesn\’t physically connect with the device it\’s slipped around, which has the folks at PhoneScoop surmising that it can be designed to hook up with the iPod Touch over Wi-Fi, allowing it to make calls on Sprint\’s 3G network. The Peel also has the power to serve as a Wi-Fi hotspot for 5 devices. Appears like a feasible function for this odd thing.
PhoneScoop points out that the name itself can be a further clue for deciphering its mysterious function: it is going to assist you to \” peel\” far from AT&T\’s iDevice hegemony. That\’s good. Even perhaps a bit too good? [FCC via PhoneScoop via BGR]
