Review: Peek is e-mail on the go, and that's it

Review: Peek is e-mail on the go, and that's it - Yahoo! News

"It's hard to remember now, but the first BlackBerry devices weren't phones. They were two-way e-mail pagers that couldn't be used for calls.

Now a New York-based startup is betting it can fill the niche the BlackBerry abandoned. It has made a sleek, $100 e-mail pager called the Peek that hits Target Corp. stores Monday.

The goal of the Peek is to reach the people who don't already have e-mail on their phones and may be intimidated by today's feature-rich 'smart' phones, like BlackBerrys, BlackJacks and iPhones. The Peek does e-mail and nothing more: no phone calls, no Web surfing, no camera. The service fee is $20 a month, with no contract."
