Sprint may have the greatest case idea yet

According to information revealed from a recent FCC filing, Sprint may have plans to release an iPod Touch case that would turn it into a full 3G-to-Wi-Fi hotspot. This ZTE device would function a lot like a Mifi or similar device in that it would use Sprint’s 3G network to bring data to the iPod Touch in the form of a hotspot wherever it goes.

However, it would also perhaps even allow other devices to connect to the hotspot to serve as an internet hub for devices other than just the iPod touch. Right now the details of this device are all speculation as Sprint has yet to announce this product to the public.

Regardless of which mobile network provider creates a case such as this, I sincerely hope it happens. Not only would it help iPod touch owners get coverage anywhere, I could also see this being adapted to Wifi iPads. Now, keep in mind that the reason people may have bought these products was to avoid having to pay any sort of monthly fee. Therefore, I would think Sprint would have to make the price point for such a product very appealing.
