Turn your iPod Touch into a phone

I know there is going to be the "knockers" because 1st its not Apple and second it comes from China, but honestly if i can get my hands on one of these i would most defiantly throw a few $ there way and give it a go ....
How cool and i really been hoping someone would bring out something like this ...

WOO Bloody HOO :)

Seems intriguing. However seems a little sketchy...I'm curious as to how it works, and if it's legal in the states. If so then...Apple is going to have to do some price relabeling.

Yea im waiting and trying to find out more about it ...... Dont think there would be too much trouble here in Aust as we have the iPhones unlocked so to just buy another sim and putting it in a device here is so easy. Can buy sim for $1 so bring it on :)

Here is the word-for-word report from Engadget:
"No one expressly said that the Apple Peel 520 would change your life, but if you play your cards right, that's not entirely out of the question. The mysterious doodad -- which wraps around your iPod touch and holds an extended battery and SIM card -- has caused quite the stir since being revealed late last month, and now it has undergone a full review overseas. Put simply, the device does work as advertised, turning one's iPod touch into a device fully capable of making / receiving calls as well as texts. 'Course, you'll need to jailbreak your device first, and you'll have to deal with a static (read: impossible to adjust) call volume, quirky SMS delivery and blanked messages for missed calls, but hey -- a small price to pay for the upgrade, right? Hit the source link for the full skinny and a video to boot."
Apple Peel 520 gets reviewed: turns your iPod touch into an iPhone, but quirks exist -- Engadget

And it has just been announced that the Apple Peel will be available in white.

now how does this work with monthly charges and everything? And I am unsure how it truly works in that regard.
