New Yorkers are still on edge from the swine flu outbreak but never fear. We’ll march on and keep communicating, ignoring all crosswalk signals that may get in our way. If you happen to own the Peek email device, stop by Gallway Hooker in NYC today and the Peek crew will upgrade your device to the Peek Pronto free of charge. Not a bad deal if you’re someone who emails a lot. A terrible deal if you own a Blackberry.
We’re no strangers to Peek here at Gearfuse. The original device has gained somewhat of a cult following and has generated enough revenue and buzz for a new device. Today we have that device and it’s called the Peek Pronto. What’s so special about the Pronto? Exchange support and Push email. This is a huge move from Peek that’ll allow it to dive into the business sector and compete against devices like the Blackberry.
Peek has also included a development environment with the Pronto, though I don’t see how far you can an email-only device. Look for the Pronto in stores soon for $80. For all the details, hit the jump.
If you haven’t heard of Peek, it’s a small, thin device with a QWERTY keypad that only does email. Yup. It just emails and uses the T-Mobile network to send and retrieve messages. You pay $20 a month and you get unlimited email service. Not the best deal. However, today only, Peek is offering a $300 one-time deal where you get the device and unlimited service all in one package. Not bad if you’re seriously considering Peek, but still, with such limited functionality, it’s hard to understand if there’s really a market for it.
Again, the $300 unlimited package is today only. Get on it.
