Peek Speaks
Peek is simply connected. This blog is simply Peek.

The biggest gadget show of the year is over. The story?

Greener, thinner, and cheaper.

Peeky themes, every one.

Peeking uses 97% less electricity than emailing from a PC. And has double the battery life of other smartphones.

At 10mm, Peek makes the iPhone 25% thicker. The latest Blackberry is 60% chunkier. Yuck.

Cheaper? Well, at exactly $19.95 per month for unlimited email and texting (yes, that’s really it) — Peek will save you $1,000 over an iPhone or Googlephone or whateverphone contract.**

Details, details.

The foot traffic was down, no robots were announced, the hot new gadget was a name from the 90s — the year in gadgets is going to be about easy, practical, useful stuff that is suited to these time. That was certainly the story in the private suites at the Wynn; never mind the press releases.

And that’s where Peek made the big news.

We’ve had a great launch in Target stores everywhere, recently added Amazon.com and Costco.com, and soon you’ll be seeing us…oh, wait. Better not say just yet.

Signing off for now, Amol

** Really? Yes. 24 months times $15/month for texting plus $30/month for data plus $15ish/month for taxes and fees plus overage on minutes plus activation fees plus >$100 for the device…and a contract with a nasty termination fee. Peek has no contract and it costs you as little as $16.66 per month if you buy 3 months up front. Wild.
