PhoneScoop reported that according to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) documents, Sprint is set to launch a new case for the iPod touch that would enable 3G networking on the WiFi-only (!) device. The case was manufactured by “ZTE” and called the “Peel”, and it’s like a mobile hotspot for the iPod touch, that is giving you 3G connection wherever you want (or wherever you can get a Sprint 3G signal).The Peel has a 3.4Whr lithium ion battery with about 40 hours of standby time, and the battery recharges through microUSB port. According to gadget site Ubergizmo, the Apple Peel could be available as soon as this week, with a price ranging from $44 to $74. It can then use the Sprint EV-DO Rev. 0 3G network to bring connectivity.
