GoSolarUSA has announced that the first demonstration-model of Yosion’s Apple Peel 520 devices are expected to arrive on American shores soon.
Created by Chinese developer Yosion, the Apple Peel 520 is a cutting-edge wireless skin capable of transforming Apple’s iPod Touch media player into a smartphone. The new technology aims to be a more affordable alternative to purchasing Apple’s costlier iPhone.
“We’re obviously very confident that consumer demand is high for the Apple Peel 520, and we’re looking forward to getting our hands on the first batch,” said GSLO President and CEO Tyson Rohde. “As soon as they arrive, we’ll begin distributing demonstration models to retail buyers across the country. The amount of interest in this product that we’ve received from distributors has been staggering.”
The device slips over the iPod Touch’s case and includes a 4.5-hour battery, dock connector and SIM card. With the proper software installed, the Apple Peel adds the ability to make voice calls and text messages to the Touch. GoSolarUSA announced weeks ago that the initial stages of development on an Apple Peel 520 fully compatible with Apple’s brand-new iPod Touch G4 has begun.
