			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-69567 aligncenter" title="apple-peel" src="http://www.gadgetreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/apple-peel.png" alt="apple-peel" width="465" height="251" /></p>
<p>GoSolarUSA is the company that, after having signed a deal Tuesday, is now the U.S. distributor of the quirky Apple Peel, a device which can be attached to your iPod Touch and gives it iPhone functionality.</p>
<p>&#8220;The brothers who invented this Apple Peel probably ran down a list of how many ways could they annoy Steve Jobs,&#8221; said Jonathan Hudis, chairman of the American Bar Association&#8217;s Trademarks and Unfair Competition Division.</p>
<p>The brothers are Chinese, and their company, Yosion Technology, makes the small Apple Peel, which is made up of a dock connector, battery and SIM. It’s projected to cost $60 and wraps around the iPod Touch, giving users voice call and text message functionality on the Touch.</p>
<p>Of course, the device has to be jailbroken first, something that doesn’t sit well at all with Apple, which bundles the iPhone with a rather expensive two year AT&amp;T plan, a financial drawback that can be avoided with the Apple Peel.</p>
<p>But the story takes a slightly shocking turn when you find out that GoSolarUSA doesn’t plan on just selling the device online, but has been in contact with Micro Center and will try to start talks with Radio Shack, Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Fry’s Electronics.</p>
<p>If they manage to convince even one of these companies to sell the gadget, Apple’s reaction should be worth watching.</p>

<p>I thought Thanko represented the weirdest gadgets Japan had to offer until I heard about Chindogu, a concept that describes that special kind of gadget that defies all description.  You read about one such gadget right here with the Baby Mop, a onesie that featured dust mop fibers, allowing your baby to crawl around freely and clean the floor while doing so.</p>
<p>Another Chindogu gadget is the Hay Fever Hat, a picture of which you can see directly above.  It&#8217;s basically a toilet paper roll mounted to a hat, so that the toilet paper flows down your face and allows you easy access to a way to blow your nose, as well as possibly being able to block sneezes.  It&#8217;s enough to make you wonder if someone&#8217;s just trying to pull one over on us.</p>
<p>As useful as it is to have an easily reached quantity of nose wipes handy, especially during hay fever season, there&#8217;s no way to avoid the fact that anyone wearing this hat winds up looking like a complete tool.  That and the paper in question is actually toilet paper, so you&#8217;re basically wandering around with a roll of toilet paper on your head, plus the hat is chinstrapped into place, so now you need a chin strap to cart around your roll of toilet paper.</p>
<p>This kind of thing apparently only happens in Japan, because I&#8217;ve never seen anyone walk around with one of these on their head, and I visit Wal-Mart on a regular basis.</p>
