    Peek’s Project Big Stuff revealed as software update

    Well this is boring. At least it sounds boring. Peek announced a few weeks back that the company was working on some big stuff. Like, legitimately big stuff.

    They did say that the company was working on “big stuff” but we didn’t think it would be this big. Buzz is after all everyone’s favorite social networking communication sharing thing they don’t understand. BuzzPeek is dead easy to use. There’s no setup required — just turn it on and you’ll automatically be opted in to [...]

    Peek has some “big stuff” in the works even though it’s short on cash

    "Big stuff that will blow away folks. Not just an awesome “Peek for Life” promo. But really, truly big stuff. So stay tuned for Project Big Stuff." That's a direct quote from Peek's official blog after stating flat out the company is short on cash even though they make a decent amount of revenue. Of course Peek could probably raise a bit more if absoulity necessary, but we're curious what the company that brought us the email-only, and more recently Twitter-only, device is working on.

    What, exactly, is the Twitter Peek?

    I just got my hands on the the Twitter Peek (AKA the Tweek) and I’m trying to figure out who, specifically, this is for. First, let’s consider this my review: this device is not very good if you’re a Twitter “power user” like myself or anyone else with maybe 100+ followers and a few hundred [...]

  • Peek offers disgruntled Sidekick owners a free Pronto, internet high-five

    Peek offers disgruntled Sidekick owners a free Pronto, internet high-five

    Filed under: , , ,

    As Microsoft and Apple have so precisely demonstrated, there's nothing like a face full of egg to make the competition fire up the sucker punch machine. Take Peek, for example, who is now offering angered Sidekick users (you know, the ones that probably lost all of their data recently) a gratis Pronto for their trouble. All that's required is an image of you, a frowny face, your wiped Sidekick and a T-Mobile bill -- once that's sent over to Peek's dedicated inbox, you'll soon receive your Pronto in the mail. 'Course, it's up to you to foot the $20 monthly bill for keeping the thing active, but hey, free's free. Kind of.

    The Peek Pronto now offered for $299 with lifetime service

    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.
