TwitterPeek Provides Twitter On The Go &mdash At A Price

Friday November 6, 2009

TwitterPeek

Would you pay $199 for a gadget used only for tweeting?

That's what the makers of the TwitterPeek are banking on with the release of the Twitter-only portable device.

For the grand, old price of nearly two Benjamins, you can get the TwitterPeek with unlimited tweeting via the device's own mobile network.

"But wait, Jason," you say. "How can such a tiny little thing cost that much when a more complicated device such as an Xbox 360 starts at the same price? And please answer my question in 140 characters or less."

Great question. But I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn last night so I unfortunately can't answer it.

Now if $199 is too steep a price for you just to tweet on the go, Peek is also offering the device for $99. The catch is that you only get six months of free service, after which you have to pay $7.95 a month to use the portable Twitter device.

Either way, I could only see Twitter fanatics with no other access to portable tweeting going for this gadget. If that description fits you to a T, then you can check out the device at the official TwitterPeek site.
