Apple Peel 520 gets a white finish, odds placed on beating white iPhone 4 to market
If you're gonna proverbially bear hug your iPod touch into a working cellular device, might as well get it in the trendiest color available, right? The Apple Peel 520 has now been shown off in white, a more stylish option for those wanting a case, extended battery, and freedom from the shackles of limited SIM options (at the expense of some functionality and ease of use, naturally). Still in production with no release date, but hey, if you're the sort who likes to live on the outer fringes of consumer electronics, keep this import in mind. No promises it'll work with whatever Apple has up its sleeve next, though.























Why release this now? They should wait for the new iPod Touch to Released.
@Brt312
i can see the stupid comments now.... "now you have to jailbreak to make a call"
@Brt312
Because maybe the new iPod Touch wont have a camera like we hoped for. This has happened once before. =[
@Brt312
Why comment on this now? You should wait for the new iPod Touch to be released.
@TRAFFICBLOWS What?????????????????????????????????????????????????
i hope it'll support the 4th generation iPod touch
@koolerz1569
Probably not, as this is probably what it'll look like: http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/12/3/1623319//ipodtouch4whiteblack.png
@DaHarder that looks pretty cool.
@DaHarder I wish.it.would look like that but probably not
@DaHarder
That's sexy. If it looks that good then i'm definately getting one.
This is nothing less than ill. i would buy of these for 79.99
At this point... I'll Take Those Odds
Just in time to be obsolete
@daewootech
It's not like all those millions of owner/users of current generation iPod Touch players are going to just toss them in the trash because a new comes along, and for those people (or the recipients of their hand-me-down iPods), this will open up even more functionality... rather inexpensively.
@DaHarder Wait, isn't that what apple owners do? They hurdle to the new device every year with promises of rainbows and unicorns, and just throw away their old junk? you know, because they too good for it.
Hey, the only bad thing I see is no 3G web. If I'm not mistaken it makes calls, and texts but no 3G Web? C'mon.
Now you have to buy a case to make calling work. Oh wait..
isnt it easier to just buy an iPhone ???
@plwh888
Not for those who want nothing to do with AT&T.
@DaHarder buy an unlocked iPhone from overseas =)
@plwh888
Not even over seas. Just come up to Canada where they are factory unlocked from the Apple store.
@plwh888 You do realize this plus a last gen ipod touch will cost less than $200, while a used 3GS will cost over $350. This is aimed at current ipod owners, so for them it's an extremely affordable ($50-$80) upgrade.
@plwh888 Well, maybe in the US of A or in Canada, but for example in some latin-american countries e.g. mexico an iPod Touch (8Gb) it's about $250 plus this (probably $70), the total price it's about $320 us dollars, and an iPhone 3G (not even the 3GS) it's about $700 without a contract., so you save $380. so it would be a no brainer in countries where Pre-paid phones are more common.
Easier maybe. Cheaper? HELL NO.
Will it turn my iPhone 4 into a phone too?
In theory, making this work on an iPhone shouldn't be too hard. Then it could potentially do dual sim-cards, simultaneously.. maybe. Could be useful for a lot of business oriented family people.
Awesome, everyone that reads my blog and didnt catch it here will be happy
