Oh hey, Peek is still producing products. Didn’t realize that.
I kid, I kid. The Peek 9 was just announced, claiming to be 9 times faster than the previous Peek Pronto, thanks to a nice software overhaul. But the bigger news in my mind is they’ve started packing more features into the OS, and the Peek 9 ships with several new apps, including Facebook, Twitter, Weather, RSS reader, and PeekMaps. It also looks like they’re launching an ad-hoc type app store called PeekTop Apps.
Rounding out the offering is the ability to view PDF and Office files attached to emails.
For those who are reading this and going, “Wait, what the heck does the Peek do?”. It’s a simple concept, Peek provides contract free unlimited texting/email for as little as $10 a month. Pricing for the 9 is $69.99 for just the handset or $99.99 for the handset +2 months of a service.
