Twitter Peek

                There's innumerable coverage on the net these days for a brand new device that has gone on sale within the North American nation -- the Twitter Peek. This pocket-sized QWERTY keyboard device that feels like a bright turquoise BlackBerry brings Twitter push-notifications to the plenty. It's aimed toward Twitter users who do not own a smart phone, so are unable to stay up with the most recent tweets through a mobile browser, or apps like Twitter Berry, EchoFon and Tweetie.
                                Unlike its precursor, the vastly in style Peek traveller, Twitter Peek will not send and receive emails -- it cansolely be used for accessing Twitter. And it does not come back low cost -- costs for the device begin at $99.95,together with six months of service, with users having to pay $7.95 per month thenceforth to receive tweets via the movable network.

However, itwill permit you to preview Twit Pic photos, open links contained in tweets and think about webpages as plain text, manage your network of friends, and follow and unfollow individuals. the limited device even blinks, rings, vibrates or emits a chirruping, tweeting sound whenever a brand new message is received. Amol Sarva, chief govt of Peek, says that Twitter is additional helpful on a mobile device. After all, Twitter's original message limit of a hundred and forty characters was designed to suit on one text message. But, says Sarva, not everybody needs to pay many bucks on a smart phone, and $30 every month for an information set up, with great care they will tweet on the go.

The Purpose of Twitter Peek

By proscribing itself to Twitter, of course, the Twitter Peek makes itself a tool for a small niche of individuals. However let's let that slide for currently. it is easy to discard the Twitter Peek if you are not into Twitter

A Twitter hand-held is a stimulating plan. Except for it to figure, it's to embrace some straight forward practicality. you have got to a minimum of be able to simply skim through your list of tweets, follow folks that look fascinating, and jump to connected links. Ideally, you ought to even be able to search the nice mass of tweets for knowledge and consider hot or "trending" topics on the service.

Setup and Usage
Twitter Peek is incredibly simple to line up. you cannot register for a Twitter account on the device—you need to use Twitter's internet site—but once you are doing that, you primarily enter your Twitter login and countersign into the gismo and you are done. That's it.

Twitter Peek additionally fails at the foremost basic function: reading tweets. the most list of tweets solely shows the primary 3 and a 0.5 words of every message; to scan a lot of, you have got to dig down by striking the 'return' key. Then you'll step through tweets, slowly, one by one, with the 'n' (for next) and 'p' (for previous) keys, or jump keep a copy to the indecipherable full list of truncated messages. The total method is slow and annoying.

Price

At least the worth is true. At $99 together with six months of service, with service cost accounting $7.95 a month afterward, Twitter Peek's monthly fee is cheaper than a wireless internet subscription on any major carrier. Figure the free six months and also the device prices $51.30
