The Peek Pronto now offered for $299 with lifetime service

By Matt Burns

The Peek has been around for a year already and surprise, surprise, it’s still around. In fact, you can now snag one without a monthly subscription charge for $299 exclusively from Amazon. Now, I’m not saying you should spend $299 on a device that just does email now that smartphone’s monthly subscription costs are dropping, but someone out there might want a dedicated device for email, Twitter, and Facebook.

Update: Kind of ironic deal found. It’s after the jump.

Peek Pronto with lifetime service: $299

By Laura June

Peek — the handheld, bare bones email device which recently celebrated its first birthday — has just launched a deal that’s actually quite a deal. You can now get a Peek Pronto (the latest model) with lifetime service for $299. The Amazon exclusive includes all Peek’s standard subscription features — up to five email accounts with unlimited Push emailing, plus extras like its Twitter and Facebook feeds, — only this time, it’s forever. The deal will cover any future device upgrade you might make, too. If you or anyone you know were ever on the fence about buying one of these badboys, now is probably the time.

Peek manages to survive a whole year, promises more features for year two

By Darren Murph

We actually first caught wind of the Peek email-only handheld around 13 months ago, but today Peek is celebrating its first year as a company with a shipping product. During the past year, it has managed to ship two distinct devices and a good bit of functionality, but most importantly, it has managed to survive. Not sure if you’ve noticed, but the past dozen months have been twelve of the most tumultuous (financially, anyway) in American history, yet this startup is still going strong and looking forward to a second year full of “new features and services” and even a few international launches. Generally we don’t stop to wish companies a happy first birthday, but seriously — how many of you expected this firm to be around in late 2009?
