An FCC filing brought to light Wednesday reveals a device Sprint hopes will penetrate some of the Apple iPod touch market.

The Peel, a ZTE-made 3G-to-WiFi hotspot device that functions as an iPod touch case, would give the iPod and adjacent machines a constant 3G connection without the need for MiFi.

The Peel has a separate battery and would likely be charged with a mini-USB port, according to MacNN.
