Peek Makes Mobile Email Easy for Everybody



Peek, an email-only device that is tailor-made for people who don’t need or want an expensive smartphone full of functions and software has announced it is capable of delivering unlimited email to and from existing accounts, anywhere in the U.S.
 
Peek has done away with multi-year contracts, bewildering rate plans and hidden fees. The mobile device is super-thin, stylish and easy to use and connects to a nationwide wireless network, which ensures coverage everywhere.
 
“Staying connected is increasingly important to people using email to make plans, catch up and share news - a trend that resonates across the country. Peek is so simple and efficient that anyone can stay on top of their email and respond,” said Amol Sarva (News - Alert), Peek co-founder and CEO.
 
“Peek is finger-friendly, handbag-tough and pocket-safe - and it offers peace of mind to people on the go. Peek’s the antidote to inbox anxiety.”
 
Peek is a pocketsize device without the complicated features usually found packed into an all-in-one smartphone. This is the only product that allows the user to start sending and receiving email in less than 2 minutes. For a flat monthly fee, people can access up to three of their existing accounts from top email providers Yahoo!, Hotmail, Gmail, AOL (News - Alert) and more.
 
By connecting to cell phone towers behind the scenes, Peek works anywhere in the United States and at a fraction of the cost of an elite smartphone.
 
Users need to just turn it on, enter an existing email address and password and start emailing from Peek’s full keyboard. Peek also has a large readable screen and offers simple navigation, making emailing effortless.
 
“Email is now a defacto communication method and many consumers will opt for a dedicated device that can do a single task really well,” said Michael Gartenberg, Vice President of Mobile Strategy, Jupitermedia.
 
 
INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO — the biggest and most comprehensive IP communications event of the year — is going on this week (September 16-18, 2008) in Los Angeles, California! The show features three valuable days of exhibits, conferences, and networking opportunities you can’t afford to miss.
