Got an iPod touch and want to turn it into a phone? No problem (perhaps) if this particular slice of vaporware emerges, blinking, into reality. See, this add-on gizmo has got what it takes to turn your iPod touch into a no-VoIP phone, cool.
This thing comes from Yosion and is called the Apple Peel 520. Effectively it is a case which contains a SIM card and an Infineon baseband chip so you can use iPod touch for calls and SMS messaging. You also get a built-in battery in this device, which might cost $44-$74, if it ever emerges at all.

Is this an Apple product?
What about carriers? Any info if it is CDMA?
Why would Apple make this product? Also, do you not see a SIM card? It’s obviously a GSM device.
I would be very interested in this to use it on T-Mobile here in the states. I’ll be looking closely at this.
