It's not quite what I was expecting, and a little pricier than the early buzz said, but it's an interesting option for iPod touch users. Tomorrow Sprint will begin offering the $80 ZTE Peel, a case for the iPod touch that lets it access Sprint's 3G data network. However, if you want to make voice calls, you'll need to use Skype. The case is actually a Wi-Fi hotspot that lets you connect your iPod touch and one other device. Service will run $29.99 per month for 1GB of data, no contract required.
