The line dividing the iPod Touch and the more feature rich iPhone just became thinner with Sprint ZTE PEEL. This device attaches to an Apple iPod Touch to allow the user to connect to 3G networks. The ZTE PEEL slider case for Apple’s popular media player comes with an integrated portable WiFi hotspot – basically turning the iPod Touch into a thicker iPhone without a third party phone and SMS apps. Given its case-like form factor, the ZTE PEEL also acts as a cradle or a jacket for second and third generation iPod Touch. This device features universal compatibility and can support up to two Wi-Fi devices. Internet connection is virtually always available for an iPod Touch user as long as there is a 3G network signal.
To use, simply slide in the iPod Touch into the ZTE PEEL with screen facing out until it clicks into position. After that, press the power button conveniently located at the back of ZTE PEEL to connect to a 3G network.
ZTE PEEL takes advantage of the already existing UI and Web capabilities of the iPod Touch to turn it into a pseudo-mobile phone and an internet capable device that’s not limited within a hot spot’s range. Other features include advanced WEP security and support for the latest Windows and Mac operating systems.

The included software can also record mixes and share them on SoundCloud of Facebook.
With a controller – that’s the way to play game, right and proper. Yes, even in phones. No gamer in his right mind would settle playing a racing, puzzle or platform jumper games using a phone’s flimsy joystick, rickety numpad or clumsy touch screen. Luckily, the new iControlpad BT is out and ready. It’s basically a joy pad with 2 Analog sticks, 6 face buttons and 2 rear buttons and a side clamp system that attaches to almost any phones. It uses Bluetooth (hence the “BT”) to connect and communicate with any Bluetooth-enabled phones and computers. It supports different Bluetooth protocols, including standard HID making it ready for newer generations of smart phones. The firmware is compatible in just about any Android App which supports a PC DPad and can be upgraded to add new features and restriction bypass.
It’s not high heels, it’s not a boomerang and it’s not even a cute furry rodent but it’s close enough – the new Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse. It’s the first mouse designed to flatten for portability and pop up for comfort. The new mouse sports another first from Microsoft, the touch scroll strip for easy navigation. Simply move a finger slowly on the strip for controlled scrolling, or flick a finger for hyperfast scrolling that can be stopped with a tap. Using a capacitive sensing technique and sensor pads, the strip matches up to each changes in position and velocity to give users precise and controlled scrolling regardless of how fast or slow the movement is. The strip also has three tap “buttons” for added functionality: page up, page down and the programmable middle click area.
Changing from the traditional scroll wheel to the Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse is also made easier with haptics, a vibration technology that simulates the bumps users would feel while using standard scroll wheel mouse. The Arc Touch Mouse is also outfitted with Microsoft BlueTrack tracking technology and a tiny magnetic snap-in Nano transceiver which is conveniently located at the bottom of the mouse.
