Well, it looks like Sprint will be getting more money from me soon. Not only am I exploring the idea of a new Galaxy Tab, but now it seems the PEEL from ZTE is coming down the pike in a week or so. For me the PEEL may be the first item acquired, as I fully expect better and faster Android based tablets to be released, or at least debuted in a few months time at CES in Las Vegas, and since i’m using my iPad less and my Mac Book Air 11″ more, I’m thinking that the iPod touch and a PEEL could cause less use of my AT&T iPhone and with an iPhone likely reportedly coming out on Verizon, who needs the challenging coverage issues of AT&T. Nez pas?
With the Peel and Sprint here in the USA an iPod touch and a soft-client from Truphone (client), CounterPath’s Bria (client), Yahoo Messenger, ZipRing or Skype becomes a phone over 3G or WiFi.
Too bad VoIP quality(for the other party) will be hindered by the device’s 3G Rev.0 slow upload much like 1xRTT speeds. WEP encryption? This isn’t 2001..
