In a promotional email sent to us today, Peek chief Amol Sarva hinted the imminent Peek 9 platform would support ” real-time apps.” Love ‘em or hate ‘em these devices exist, and they’re apparently about to get a section more robust.
” Peek 9 is a fast, focused, and price-efficient option to put real-time apps inside the hands of front line staff and first time users,” Sarva said.
Adding apps to what is purposely a bare-bones device feels like it might probably defeat the purpose, but Sarva reaffirmed Peek 9 would retain the low-cost simplicity his company’s devices are getting known for through the years (or is that maligned?):
” [A]ren’t people talking less? Texting, emailing, etc more? Isn’t that cheaper? The bills has to be happening. With Peek 9, they are going to,” he said.
I’m probably not on board with Peek, but I am keen on that mentality about cheap texting. I wish the cellphone carriers sounded more like Sarva. [ Peek ]
