What is TwitterPeek? TwitterPeek is a slim, lightweight mobile gadget that enables you to use Twitter on-the-go from anywhere in the US. It is the world’s first Twitter device from the makers of Twitter and Peek. Because it is designed exclusively to Twitter, TwitterPeek offers the best mobile Twitter experience available.

Built for Twitter Enjoy all of your favorite Twitter features with TwitterPeek including reading tweets, sending tweets, replying, retweeting and direct messaging.

Twitter: Everybody's Doing It It seems like everyone and their mother is on Twitter these days. Twitter has become a new way for people to communicate and share ideas. It’s dramatically different from email, phone or texting. If you don’t already “get” Twitter, it’s about sharing and discovering interesting stories as they happen. With access to Twitter on-the-go, you can participate (or just listen in on) real life conversations that are happening all around the world and close to home. You might follow the New York Times for breaking news. Lance Armstrong might invite you along on his bike ride through Hamburg. Oprah might let you in on the latest book she’s reading. Or, better yet, you might discover the coffee shop around the corner is offering free scones until 11 am for all tweeters. You’ll discover an infinite world of conversation with the nifty, pocket-sized TwitterPeek.

Tweeting On-the-Go It’s a little known fact, but Twitter was originally designed for text messaging, where people would send 140 character tweets from cell phones. Those tweets would then get sent out to all of their followers as texts. Can you imagine what a mess (and how expensive) that would be today? That’s why most people use Twitter on the web. But, what do you really have to tweet about at your lonely, boring desk? Wouldn’t it be more interesting to be tweeting throughout the day as you experience exciting things and have amusing thoughts? It’s also a lot easier to keep on top of the Tweetsphere when you can read and reply to tweets during lunch, on the train or while waiting in line.

Make it a Merry Tweetmas Better than a partridge in a pear tree, TwitterPeek is the hottest holiday gift this year. It's not just for the geeky gadgeteer in your life — moms, dads, teens, teachers, co-workers and friends are all on Twitter or trying to get into it. Give them the gift of Twitter with TwitterPeek, a super cool and affordable gadget that makes Twitter fun. Great stocking stuffer, too!

Always On TwitterPeek works on a high-speed wireless data network with nationwide coverage, so it’s always on and receiving tweets. With smartphone applications for Twitter, you have to switch over to an application and wait for only your 100 most recent tweets to download. With TwitterPeek, you get all of your tweets as they happen – instantly! Plus, TwitterPeek is more affordable than any smartphone data plan.

Easy to Use Quickly browse 100’s of tweets on TwitterPeek’s large color screen. Menus are a snap to navigate with the handy click scroll wheel and back button. Typing is a breeze on TwitterPeek's full QWERTY keyboard with raised and illuminated rubber keys. Plus, it is super simple to set-up - enter your Twitter username and password and that's it. You'll start receiving tweets in minutes!

It's Easy to Set Up

No Contracts. No Hassles. Unlike cell phone companies, TwitterPeek will never ever lock you into a contract or charges you hidden fees. It's as simple as that.

Nationwide Coverage You don't need to seek out a Wifi signal to make TwitterPeek work. TwitterPeek operates on its own high speed national wireless network, so you can tweet from anywhere you are — whether you're on the beach in Hawaii or shopping at a local grocery store.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great TWEET ONLY device, February 8, 2010

By 

THATCH "RST" (OHIO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: TwitterPeek Mobile Tweeting Device with 6 Months of Service Included (Aqua) (Personal Computers)

In an era when the trend is the "all in one" device that does everything, Peek has gone the opposite direction and created solid hardware and a dead simple device. With super cheap monthly fees or if you're willing to up front more cash, unlimited "lifetime" data. If you browse the getpeek website, there really is a strong following of Peek.

The device is very good at tweeting. It gets push updates, is simple to use, fast and dead simple. It's designed well and is durable/attractive. While the screen doesn't match up with the latest precision screens like the Nexus One or other smart phones, it's very bright & readable.

This device could be good for:

1. Kids who you don't want wandering around on the internet or racking up charges without knowing
2. Senior citizens who are easily confused by technology but want to keep up with a few family members via twitter
3. Someone who is willing to front the higher cost in order to not ever pay a monthly fee, assuming the service is around forever.

This may or may not be the device for you. It runs on the T-Mobile network and in many areas where T-mobile doesn't have towers it works on AT&T (I'm using it on AT&T). You have a couple weeks to try it out with Amazon's return policy, so I wouldn't hesitate to give it a try. Most people are able to self-select if this device is for them beforehand. One limiting factor is that you can't unfollow people with the device, and you can only view photos if they're posted with Twitpic. Those being the only skeletons, it's a really nice device with a single purpose in mind.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad but needs improvement, January 5, 2010

This review is from: TwitterPeek Mobile Tweeting Device with 6 Months of Service Included (Aqua) (Personal Computers)

I have had my TwitterPeek for about 2 months now and I think that it is plenty of time for this review. I also have a Peek so first, the TwitterPeek did not come with a case like the Peek does. Not too much of a big deal, but would have been nice. The graphics are a bit better than the Peek, well I guess different than better. The software is pretty slow. It is about as slow as the original Peek software was. It scrolls slow and takes a little time to switch screens. It says that it is fast, but sorry to say, far from it. I never get my tweets in real time, I usually get them about 5-10 min from when they were tweeted and if I get a lot, which happens often, I get a message that it could not deliver all of my tweets and I need to go online to see them. Not a fun message to get when not near a computer and you are waiting for an answer from someone. If all you do is tweet then this is a nice gadget, but it really needs improvement. Since having a Peek and they have upgraded the software, I suspect that they will have software upgrades for the TwitterPeek soon as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very attractive option for on-the-go Twittering, December 14, 2009

By 

darkxsun - See all my reviews

This review is from: TwitterPeek Mobile Tweeting Device with 6 Months of Service Included (Aqua) (Personal Computers)

FIRST OFF: Unlike at least one reviewer, I actually OWN THIS THING. I urge you to ignore people reviewing it based on the concept alone.

VERDICT: Great device for anyone who likes Twitter even a little bit, because within a week you'll love it even more. It's not very expensive, and it's addictive. It may not be worth it if you always want the brand new Twitter features, or if you already have a smartphone, but if you want *just* solid Twittering and won't pay for a smartphone and data, this thing is great. It's far more elegant than Twitter-by-SMS and a good competitor for other Twitter clients.

FULL REVIEW:

First thing I noticed was, if I don't have a Twitter account, I'm directed to [...]. This is inefficient for a device that should be able to help me register on its own, without the net.

Next, I had a validation error and had to call Peek. They were very nice, but said I had to wait until Monday. I gave them all the info they needed and then, time to wait.

Once I got the thing going, I noticed that it took a minute to get my list loaded and ready. Some things were a bit confusing, coming from the Peek Pronto, such as keyboard shortcuts. I kept trying to use 'T' to scroll to the top, and on TwitterPeek this opens a new tweet. The shortcuts are there, they're just different.

Once loaded and going, I liked the layout. It looks like an email inbox, honestly, but it works well, I think. It seems a bit slow - when I'm at my computer and get an email, by Pronto alerts me almost as fast as I see it on Gmail, but when a new Twitter post happens, TwitterPeek seems kind of behind. For example, it's 2:23pm as I write this and the thing just whistled for a 2:19 post. At first I thought it was actually having some delay. As it turns out I think it's polling about every 5 minutes. So, you'll get your average Twitter post after 2 and a half minutes, worst case 5 minutes (best case instant). Of course, this is my rough estimate based on my experience.

One thing I wasn't relying on was this: It's addictive. It's really a great device. I use Twitter tons more with it than I did with my cell phone or my Pronto and an email-to-Twitter bridge program. It's convenient. I love replying without typing the full username out. Sure, I can on the web, but not on-the-go, at least not without a smartphone I can't afford.

It also gets much better battery life than Pronto, and far less glitches seem to happen. I love Pronto, but it has bugs (server and client side). TwitterPeek seems to get less. There is currently a bug where users on your Following and Followers list are repeating, but they're fixing this server side and it's the first I've seen since I got activated.

Battery life is great, I get several days of use on a charge.

You can only have one account on the device at a time, but I never saw a reason to have more than one Twitter account anyway.

The biggest downside is this: the client-side software is firm, and we likely won't see updates more than once per quarter. This means the software is extensively tested, but it means we don't get the new features the minds behind something as dynamic as Twitter implement until much later. Examples include things as trivial as the rewording of "what are you doing?" to "what's happening" as well as things as exciting as officially-sanctioned API-based retweets. API retweets don't even show up, and there's no way to retweet from the device (except the old-style RT, which works great).
