Prices Slashed on Peek Email Devices but Not Monthly Fees
With so many other options out there it's hard to say how many people, even under the most favorable of terms, are interested in having a separate handheld device exclusively for email and perhaps texting. The folks over at Peek are going to find out though, which is a good thing since that's what their business is all about.
Recently they dropped the price of their two models, the Peek "Pronto" and the Peek "Classic" to $19.95 and $59.95; down from their previous price tags of $49.95 and $79.95 respectively. Sounds like a pretty good deal on paper, especially for the classic, but we all know that the profit margin in wireless oriented businesses is built around subscriptions. Unfortunately for Peek, one of their major marketing tenets is that no are contracts needed. This sounds good too, but always means that you will be paying more on a month-to-month basis. In the case of Peek, historically this has meant $20/month. They recently attempted to get more people on board by offering a lifetime subscription to the service that included a device, for $300. Now if you were interested, that really was a good deal. Too bad the offer was limited to a single day. That day has past, but if the new low prices on the models are enough to pique your interest, you are willing to carry another device and you are willing to pay upfront for the long haul, then you can get a $16/mon rate in three-month increments, or $15/mon for a year. It goes against the whole "no contract needed" ideal, but if it works for you or someone in your circle who only emails and/or texts then it might be something to look into. Here is a breakdown of the two versions of hardware on offer (Outlook Web access and unlimited texting apparently only available on the Pronto):

I saw one of these in the wild the other day. It was a kid in his early teens, I say. He was carrying it around a theme park. That got me thinking that this might be perfect for a younger audience. Parents who want to let their kids stay in touch, but don't want to spring for a full-fledged phone could pick up one of these likely cheaper than adding another line to their cell plan. Just a thought. :-)

Good for business purposes but not much detail given to know about this device, packages are also looking too expensive, there should be some more detail about this device and another economical option.
