Hold on for a second. Lets do some 2nd grade math. iPod Touch = $229 + Peel 520 $119.00 = $348. Last time I checked iPhone 3GS goes about $260 on Craigslist. So why will people waste extra $100 to make iPod do what its not suppose to in first place? They won't make a lot of money.

Hold on for a second. Did you know the total cost of iPhone after 2 years of locked in? it's more than 2K. You do not need a iPhone plan for this.

some people already own an ipod touch. maybe people with kids who want an iphone? this could be a good alternative if they already own an ipod touch

Well u forget the fact that alot of ppl may want a cell but no contract, i believe ur rt about they not making too much money cause the price is outrageously high, i was thinking this will come at around $50 max but $100+, thats just plain stupid and greedy.

lets make it simple for you. Lets say you already have an ipod touch, and you already have a contract with sprint or some other phone service provider i dont think that you would want to cancel your previous contract just to start another for an iphone considering the cancellation fees. When you can simply buy this product which will cost you less on the long run.
