Peek is a company with ideas — but they like to tackle them one at a time. Last year, amid snickering and cries of uselessness from the gadget world, the tiny company launched an email-only handheld that’s attempted to bring the idea of email on the go to the smartphone fearing crowd… and we do know at least one avid user. Now the company has turned around and tried it again, this time with a seemingly even less essential device, the TwitterPeek.
The TwitterPeek works in conjunction with Twitter, and only with Twitter. It’s that simple. There’s nothing else to figure out or set up, so presumably, the idea is that the device, like the original Peek, is intended for the dumbphone lover who just can’t go without a constant stream of Tweets. So, fair enough — those of us who are more than a little tech savvy may find reason to smile at this, but supposedly this will be attractive to someone. Right?
So how did the TwitterPeek fare when we got our mitts on it? Read on to find out.
