The PEEL portable 3G 802.11 b/g WiFi hotspot passed through the FCC today.  As you can see the device bears Sprint branding, and it’s designed to work on the company’s CDMA/EVDO network.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t offer support for 4G.

Interestingly, the PEEL is designed to attach to the back of an iPod Touch – all you need to do is connect to the PEEL’s WiFi signal with your iPod Touch, and you have anywhere access to the Internet.  Yup, that means you can even place calls with your iPod Touch when logged on to the net via WiFi.  The PEEL supports up to five devices simultaneously.

The PEEL is manufactured by ZTE and has the model number U3200.  We don’t have any info on pricing or a release date, but today’s FCC filing suggests that the device should be available soon.

Note:  In our earlier post, we completely overlooked the fact that the PEEL is designed to fit on the back of the iPod Touch.  Sorry!
