Great idea on the bundle... duly noted. fedward - Based on the sampling of bags from this post, we believe people won't mind carrying around a simple, elegant device for email along with a digital camera, Flip video, iPod, etc. etc. And please do tell your realtor friends to run to Target to pick up a Peek! :) - Jeremy Peek Marketing Mike - glad you saw us on SAR and thanks for coming to check out out.

I used to have a two-way pager at an old job (we called them belt computers), and witnessed the rapid uptake of email-only Blackberries, but I do wonder how many people will add the device at that $20 monthly cost. Yes, many people carry PDAs in addition to phones, but the Peek doesn't replace that so you're going on the assumption that enough of those people will not only be willing to add a third device (phone, PDA, Peek), but they'll pay $20/month for the service. That said, I work with a bunch of realtors and I'd be willing to bet a good number of them would in fact run to Target to buy Peek if they had any reason -- at all -- to believe it would help. So my feelings are decidedly mixed. I'll probably still tell them just to get iPhones and be done with it, but I'm sure I'm going to have to be prepared to support Peek alongside everything else.
