Some of you may have already seen this but Sprint recently announced the ZTE Peel for the iPod touch will be arriving on November 14th, 2010. A data plan of $30 is still going to be required for access to the 3G network while using the ZTE Peel. Read on to learn more about the ZTE Peel.
What is the ZTE Peel? Sprint customers can attach the ZTE PEEL to their Apple iPod touch and then connect to Sprint’s 3G network. ZTE PEEL is a device that cradles second and third generation iPod touch’s with a case-like form factor. Having universal Wi-Fi compatibility with support for up to two Wi-Fi enabled devices, iPod touch users will have a anywhere, anytime Internet connection that removes the reliance on a Wi-Fi hotspot for a data connection. Customers simply slide their iPod touch (touch-screen face out) into ZTE PEEL, press down on both sides until it clicks into place, and then press the power button located on the back of ZTE PEEL to connect to Sprint’s 3G network. That simple! Cool isn’t it?
According to Sprint, ZTE PEEL will be available beginning Sunday, November 14, through Sprint retail stores and direct ship sales channels, including Web sales (www.sprint.com) and Telesales (1-800-SPRINT1) for $79.99 (taxes excluded). The ZTE PEEL $29.99 monthly service plan from Sprint allows up to 1GB of 3G data on the Sprint network (taxes and surcharges excluded) with no annual contract required.
