GoSolarUSA and Yosion have announced yet another development agreement to configure new versions of the ApplePeel 520 for use with tablet computers like the iPad, following their original deal for developing and selling iPod touch-compatible units in China and the United States.

The American company is reportedly providing the funding and tablets that China-based Yosion needs to develop the new version of the product.

For those who are not familiar with the gadget, Yosion’s ApplePeel 520 is a slide-on case originally designed for the Apple iPod touch with the purpose of adding telephone functionality to the popular media player.

The Peel sports its own battery, and a SIM card slot. It requires the user to jailbreak their device and install additional software to employ the product.

“Apple has sold more than three million iPads since the tablet’s release in April, selling over 300,000 on launch day alone,” said Tyson Rohde, GSLO President and CEO. “Clearly, there’s a very large market of tablet users developing here that we believe will grow by leaps and bounds this holiday season.

“By developing the ApplePeel 520 for the iPad and other devices such as the Amazon Kindle and the Archos 7, we can provide these tablet users with the first must-have accessory for a new generation of computers,” Rohde added.

The company admits that it is still hard at work readying the iPod touch version of the ApplePeel 520 for the U.S. marketplace.

However, “With the development agreement in place, Yosion will begin the task of adapting the technology for the iPad and similar tablet computers,” it adds.

“This will be Yosion’s first project working with tablets, and their developers cannot wait to start taking iPads apart,” Rohde said. “We’re absolutely ecstatic to see what functionality they are able to build into the new ApplePeel 520 for iPad.”
