GoSolarUSA has announced that its representative in China has received Apple Peel 520 units from Yosian that will be used to demonstrate the product to potential nationwide U.S. distributors.

The Company plans to continue communications with Micro Center, and hopes to forge marketing alliances with large retail distributors such as Radio Shack, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, and Fry’s Electronics, as part of GSLO’s marketing plan for the Apple Peel 520.

“We are arranging to get these new units into the hands of retailers in the U.S. as quick as we can,” stated Tyson Rohde, President of GSLO. “We anticipate that retailers will quickly see the value of this product’s technology.”

“We believe that there will be very high demand for the Apple Peel 520,” Rohde said. “We have encountered an unusually high amount of inquiries for the product since we announced signing the agreement with Yosian.”

“GoSolarUSA is dedicated to aggressively acquiring, developing and marketing promising and potentially profitable technology,” the company said.

It acknowledges that Apple competes in the global smartphone market against the Google Android and Research in Motion’s BlackBerry line not only via its iPhone, but also through the iPod touch.

GoSolarUSA has revealed on numerous occasions that its Apple Peel 520 adds mobile voice and text messaging capabilities to Apple’s iPod touch as it slips over the player’s case.

The accessory includes a battery, dock connector and SIM card, and requires the user to jailbreak their iPod touch and install special software to be able to place / receive calls, or send / receive text messages.

“Once the proper software is installed, the Apple Peel adds the ability to make voice calls and text messages to all versions of the Touch,” GoSolarUSA says.

“The startling new technology represents a more affordable alternative to purchasing Apple’s costlier iPhone,” the company upholds.

Although GoSolarUSA is doing all the legwork to promote and sell the Apple Peel 520, it was actually a company called Yosian that developed the device in question.
