Barely few weeks after Apple Peel 52o making headlines as the first case that provide iPod Touch with functionality to works like iPhone , it’s first rival has emerged. Simply called tPhone which happen to be company from China as well, it is hard plastic case that provide the similar functionality to iPod Touch as Apple Peel 520.
The casing equipped with a non-removable 1200mAh battery, a dock connector, a SIM card slot , top and side buttons for the iPod touch, 3.5″ audio jack, power button to activate the adapter and a mini USB port for recharging. Pretty much everything that Apple Peel 530 has minus the mini USB port. It’s lack of vibrating motor as well.
On the software side, an app called ‘Dial’ need to be installed only at jailbroken iPod Touch, yeah you need to jailbreak your iPod Touch in order for it to be installed, from Cydia. On the looks, it looks bulky, in fact bulkier than Apple Peel 520, but that’s the price you have to pay if you’re not willing to fork out more money for an iPhone.
tPhone ‘s unconfirmed price tag is $700 yuan or about USD103. With the combined price of casing and the iPod Touch, it seems that it is no longer viable alternative to iPhone, at least to me.
