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 $260 on CraigsList So WTH will people WASTE exta 100$ to make Ipod do what its not suppose to in first place. They won't make alot 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.

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.
