A sole email device by Peek, will it be a success?

With most mobile phones having an email function, do you think there is a need for a cheap email gadget that basically just emails? Well we should find out soon as Peek the company behind the email gadget is coming on September 14 to Target stores, although they say it will be available earlier on the web.

Peek (who were formally known as Txtbl) have posted some updates lately and also posted a photo of the gadget, which we have uploaded for you, they also have said that it is going to cost $99.95.

Ok, so we have a email gadget that sends and collects emails, it looks pretty smart in several colour’s, aqua, cherry and grey, slim form, has a full QWERTY keyboard and it worked over the T-Mobile network for $19.95 a month, and it’s said that there is no long-term contract, no mail rebate, no digital camera, no App Store, no MP3 Player, no SMS, no Web browser, no mobile TV just plain and simple email, oh although it does include Yahoo mail, Google Mail, AOL and the like.

Time will tell if Peeks email gadget will be a success, it’s hard to think with all the multi-use gadgets around that someone would want to possibly carry to devices instead of one, ok, it is slightly cheaper but adding the T-Mobile service on top it’s not that cheap, there have been a few one function successes the flip video camera has been one. But with such stiff competition for Peek we can only wish them luck.
