According to some leaked screens sent to BGR, the ZTE Peel will be available for a mere $79.99 on November 14, with a month-to-month $30 data plan. This isn't just another smartphone. No, the Peel is a device that will snap around the 2nd and 3rd generation iPod Touch providing it with a 3G internet connection on Sprint's network. That $30 monthly fee only gets you 1GB of bandwidth, though.
When you get down to it, this is basically a MiFi that you can connect to two devices, and the unit is attached to one of them. It won't magically grant the iPod the phone features of the iPhone, but with an external mic, you can use various VoIP solutions to fake it. Interestingly, the ZTE Peel does not support the new 4th generation iPod Touch. It was probably designed long before Apple unveiled the device, so it's not that surprising.
Any iPod Touch owners out there looking to pick one up? The lack of a contract makes this a more viable product in our book.
