Apple Peel Could Mean $200 iPhone 4 Within a Year!

The iPod touch is basically a 2/3rd generation iPhone only thinner and lacking the camera, gps and capabilites. Although it has been possible for some time to run Skype of Fring on the iPod and make calls over WIFI, there has been no way to make calls or send messages over or 3G. That is all about to change with the imminent release of the Peel 520. Acting as basically a clip on adaptor the Peel will turn any iPod in to an iPhone for around $99. Unfortunately the Peel only supports EDGE, although we’re sure a 3G model must be in the works, it does feature it’s own rechargeable battery giving around 3 hours of talk time a small motor to allow for ‘silent’ vibration alerts and obviously a sim card slot. As this is obviously going against what want you to do with the iPod your going to have to Jailbreak your to get the Phone and apps on there. For around $99 the black or white Peel is a steal, however we want to wait to see what have planned for the iPod 4. If it turns out to be an iPhone 4 without the 4 and the makers of the Peel make an adapter we could be looking at $200 iPhone 4’s by the end of the year!! More news as we get it, or you could and let the keep you up to date.
