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.


Stylish and Thin

TwitterPeek is a mere 0.4 inches thick and lightweight at less than 4 ounces. It also comes in a fashionable Twitter blue exterior or sleek charcoal gray.
Blinking, Ringing and Vibrating Alerts
Know the instant you receive new tweets by setting your TwitterPeek to any combination of alerts.

4.0 out of 5 stars The TwitterPeek: My Very Long Review, November 22, 2009
The TwitterPeek is a handheld, dedicated Twitter device recently released by Peek, a company which also makes a similar device for email, the Peek Pronto. The TwitterPeek runs on a wireless network and allows you to Twitter from anywhere in the U.S. where you can get a T-Mobile signal. No wi-fi signal is needed. It sells for $99.99, which gives you six months of free service. After that it'll cost you $7.95 a month. Or you can buy a TwitterPeek for $199.99, which gives you free service for the lifetime of the unit, no monthly fees ever.

I was very excited about the TwitterPeek when news of it surfaced. I was initially put off by the cost of the device, but my lust for the TwitterPeek got the better of me, and I also rethought my position somewhat. The unit itself costs $52.29 if you subtract the six months of service from the $99.99 price tag. Or for $199 you get potentially years' worth of always-on connection to Twitter. Go the latter route and it becomes very cost-effective over time if you're a big Twitter user.

Given my excitement about the release of the TwitterPeek, I was very interested in following its reception in the Twittersphere. So I was really shocked to read that early impressions of the product were extremely negative. I shouldn't say impressions of the product, I guess, because most of the people who were Twittering and blogging about the device early on had never seen or used one. There were two main objections to the device raised: (1) it only does Twitter, and multi-function devices are superior; single-use devices should be avoided; and (2) smartphones already do Twitter, so there's no need for a dedicated Twitter device. These objections, worth raising, were, however, often accompanied by a surprising amount of vitriol. For some reason, a lot of people don't want such a device to exist: they see no use for it themselves, and don't want other people to see a use for it either.

Regarding the two objections above, the point is, it really depends on your needs. If you have a smartphone that's already giving you always-on Twitter, then there's absolutely no need for you to buy a TwitterPeek. But not everyone wants to cough up the monthly fees required for smartphones. I myself hate using the phone, landline or cell. I have a basic Tracfone that cost me $20 to buy and costs me $20 every THREE MONTHS to keep going. I hardly ever use it, but it's good to have for emergencies. I have an iPod Touch that gives me virtually all the benefits of an iPhone, but without a camera (which I don't need) and without the cell phone (which I don't need or want). But I'm tethered to wi-fi with it. So what am I missing? The ability to Twitter when I'm away from a wi-fi signal. That's what TwitterPeek provides.

Some people may object as well that one doesn't NEED to Twitter at all times, and of course that's true. But it's a good way to stay in touch with friends and family, and it's a legitimate a mode of communication. If you don't like Twitter or use it enough to want to use it on the go, then again, the TwitterPeek isn't for you.

There have also been, let's say, more rational reviews of the TwitterPeek that have criticized its features, which is fine. I just object to the crazed bashing that has occurred over the very existence of the device.

After a lot of obsessive TwitterPeek watching I finally bought myself one, and I've been using it pretty intensively for the last 24 hours. It's a mix of good and bad; some things could be improved. But on the whole, I like it, and I'm not sorry to have spent the money. In more detail:

SET-UP
The set-up of the device is simple--you pretty much just input your existing Twitter credentials. But it wasn't immediately obvious from the documentation that you have to activate your device online first. Once you do that, it only takes a couple minutes to be up and running.

NAVIGATION: SCROLL WHEEL AND KEYBOARD
The TwitterPeek comes with a full QWERTY keyboard, which is really nice. The keys are stiff but not too stiff, with the exception of the space bar, which is a little too stiff for my comfort. On my second day of ownership I gave myself a typing test to see how many characters I could type in one minute on the TwitterPeek vs. the iPod Touch (which I've owned for close to a year). The results:

* iPod Touch: 206 characters with 5 mistakes
* TwitterPeek: 173 characters with 0 mistakes


As other reviewers have noticed, navigating the TwitterPeek's menus and viewing tweets using the scroll wheel is much too awkward. Happily, most actions can be performed with keyboard shortcuts. These work very nicely. My favorite detail is that you can hold down a letter or number key and it will become either a capital or the associated symbol. (One shortcut I discovered but didn't see in the documentation: shift-S for settings menu.)

Still, there are some things that you have to use the scroll bar for, which is unfortunate. Ideally, I would like to have every action performable from the keyboard. That means, I'd like to somehow see directional keys on the keyboard. The Kindle's four-way toggle comes to mind as a possiblity. (To move left or right within a tweet you're writing you have to press shift and use the scroll wheel.) When you're in a menu, or a tweet for that matter, you have to back out using the back button on the side of the device. To me it seems unnatural to use buttons on the side when you're otherwise focused on the keyboard--it's disruptive, like reaching for a mouse when you're typing. So I'd like to have a back button on the keyboard. I'd also like to have a quicker way to get to the home screen than backing out two or three times if you're inside the menus (shift-H?).

The keyboard, by the way, is lockable in case you're worried about accidental keystrokes. Though I think the keys are stiff enough that that's not a likely problem.

ABILITY TO FAVORITE A TWEET NEEDED
You can follow links that are included in tweets received, but you'll only get a text copy of the web page. In some cases this is fine, but it's obviously not always going to be enough. This doesn't bother me, because I'm happy to wait until I get to my computer to view interesting links. However, to this end I'd like to be able to favorite a tweet as a sort of bookmark so I can go back to it easily (for example, shift-F would work nicely). This isn't possible currently. Instead, I've been reduced to direct messaging myself the tweet as a reminder, which is an annoying work-around.

NOTIFICATIONS
You can be notified of new tweets either by a sound (there's are five choices, but I prefer the chirp) or by vibration or both. You can be notified either of all tweets or only @messages and dm's, or you can turn notifications off. In addition, when new tweets come in the little envelope in the upper left of the device blinks. I rather like hearing my TwitterPeek chirp throughout the day, I must say. I would suggest two improvements to notifications:

1. Make it possible to receive different alerts for @messages and dm's vs. other new tweets. For example, one might want to hear chirps for stuff that's directed at you, but a different sound or only vibration for regular tweets.
2. There is an airplane mode on the device, which I gather shuts down the wireless connectivity temporarily. (I'm not sure why that's preferable to turning it off.) But I would like to have a temporary mute button. Sure, you can go into the menus to turn the alerts off when you want to, but it would be easier to be able to, say, shift-M them away for the length of a movie.


ABILITY TO MARK TWEETS AS READ NEEDED
People have complained that the TwitterPeek makes reading your tweets difficult because it only lists the first lines of the tweets on your home screen. You see part of the Twitter id of the person sending the message then a snippet of the tweet and then the time it was sent. In real use I haven't found this problematic. Most often I go into a tweet and then jump to the next one or the previous one using the N and P keyboard shortcuts. Also, if the full tweets were displayed then you would only be able to see two or three at a time, which would increase the amount of scrolling you have to do, which would be bad.

I do dislike very much, however, the fact that the TwitterPeek does not mark as read tweets that you have entered to read. I hate to guess where I've left off reading in the Twitter stream. (Though it does keep your last place highlighted as new tweets come in.)

SPEED
Sitting with my TwitterPeek in front of my Mac with Tweetie open on the desktop, the reception of tweets by the two devices is roughly the same. Sometimes a tweet will come in first on Tweetie, sometimes on TwitterPeek. There's been no noticeable difference. (Where the TwitterPeek does lag slightly is when performing functions like discarding an unfinished tweet. But it's not a huge lag.)

APPEARANCE
The device itself is pretty attractive, I think. It has a solid feel. The keyboard is nicely laid out. I particularly appreciate that so much information is relayed in a tiny, attractive strip at the top of the color screen:

You have the Twitter logo, then a signal strength indicator, battery indicator, time and date, and the Twitter bird (which flies when it's communicating with the network), and finally the name of the screen you're on (home, settings, etc.). A lot of information in an attractively designed space.

As for the font of the tweets, it's not as attractive as what one sees on the iPod Touch/iPhone--I'm thinking here of Tweetie 2 (a great app). Somehow the TwitterPeek font looks like it's not smooth... Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 stars DONOT BUT THIS you are tossing money in the trash, December 30, 2011
The maker is going out of business and no longer is providing the service you need to use this. It will save you the time to dispose of the unit in recycling a week after receiving it. YOU CAN PAY FOR NONREFUNDABLE SERVICE that is not available , with no option for any form of refund.

OCT. 19, 2010 UPDATE:
The TwitterPeek does NOT work any longer. Don't buy it. If you already have a TwitterPeek with LIFETIME SERVICE, this is NOW what PEEK INC. is telling me: PEEK INC. is only offering TwitterPeek Users with LIFETIME SERVICE to switch to a Peek 9 with only ONE YEAR OF SERVICE. No more LIFETIME SERVICE on a direct straight swap. But someone else in the GetPeek discussion forum is saying you have to pay an extra $50 to get lifetime service on the Peek 9 if you want to swap to a Peek 9. It's up to you. But I say: Don't buy the TwitterPeek. Get a real phone with internet on the phone for doing your twitter. Based on my experience with the TwitterPeek, you can expect a DEAD DEVICE and you will be wasting your money.


*******
OCT. 14, 2010 UPDATE:
The TwitterPeek no longer works. The TwitterPeek is a dead device. According to a support message that I've received, PEEK INC has no ETA as to when twitter service may be restored. PEEK INC. is now saying that TwitterPeek users should get the Peek 9 device which is their new email device. There's is a "lemonade" offer where you can get a Peek 9 for $1, but you have to contact PEEK to swap your lifetime service from the TwitterPeek to the Peek 9. But there is NO TWITTER on the Peek 9 because PEEK INC. still hasn't gotten twitter to work. They may advertise twitter on the Peek 9, but they admit twitter is not working. I haven't switched to the Peek 9 yet, but anticipate doing so to at least get some sort of LIFETIME SERVICE that I've originally paid for. [EDIT: my contact at support is checking to see if there is a difference in paying for the Lifetime Service on the PEEK9. If there is, I may not want to get it because I've paid all that I want to pay for these Peek devices.]

If you are looking at the TwitterPeek, don't get it. Additionally, I suggest you don't bother looking at any of Peek's other devices because the service is not reliable from my experience and also if you look at the GetPeek discussion forums where people complain about the outages on the other Peek devices. You will be better off looking for an unlocked phone, put an AT&T SIM card on the phone, and use AT&T GoPhone prepaid service on the phone to get voice as well as internet to thereby get twitter. As I've mentioned in a previous update, my review here used to be five stars, but I've since downgraded my review to ONE STAR. Don't get the TwitterPeek. I used to be enthusiastic for the TwitterPeek, but I now wholeheartedly agree with the other one-star reviews here. Those other one-star reviews had no experience with the TwitterPeek, but I have experience with the TwitterPeek and can tell you that you will definitely make a mistake if you get the TwitterPeek since the TwitterPeek is now a dead do-nothing bricked device and when the company behind the device is telling people to switch to something else.

OCT. 8, 2010 UPDATE:
Still No Twitter Service.
This was originally a Five Star Review.
I've completely downgraded it to One Star.
This TwitterPeek is suppose to have
LIFETIME SERVICE, but at this point
there has been NO SERVICE for
OVER ONE MONTH and counting.

SEPT. 29, 2010 UPDATE:

From the PEEK discussion forum (@amolsarva):

TwitterPeek fix status :

Official word on TwitterPeek:
- while we were getting ready to launch Peek 9
- Twitter changed a bunch of stuff
- that broke TwitterPeek
- but we are nearly through fixing it up
- and it's going to work not only on all TwitterPeeks
- but also on Peek 9s
- and you can even turn it on Peek Prontos [...]

If you want a credit back for a "monthly plan" TwitterPeek please email care@getpeek

A cool thing is that the links are "followable" by the mini browser. That will work on all Peeks

*******

SEPT. 18, 2010 UPDATE:

Because of a recent change in how Twitter authenticates accounts, the TwitterPeek has been DEAD in getting service from Twitter since about the beginning of September 2010. First, the people at PEEK Inc. said that they would have access to Twitter restored by Thursday, September 16, but that date fell through. Now, they say they will have access to Twitter restored by sometime the following week (which is next week after the time when I'm currently writing this update) in time for the debut of their next product called the Peek 9. So far I've got only three months out of the lifetime service for my TwitterPeek. And I'm waiting to see if this comatose TwitterPeek actually rises from the dead and starts working again. Totally annoying having to wait to see if that actually happens. I'll report back if and when Twitter access is restored on the TwitterPeek, or if there is some other change, BUT I have to agree with the naysayers, that you will be better off with a smartphone that has some type of internet access for accessing Twitter while you are on the go away from a computer. For instance, look at the unlocked phones that can take GSM cards like the LG phones or even the iphone clones that you can use with AT&T GoPhone prepaid service for voice calls and internet.

ORIGINAL (AND NOW *WORTHLESS*) June 23, 2010 REVIEW
WITH THE JULY 11, 2010 UPDATE....
GOOD CONCEPT BUT NOW DEAD WORTHLESS DEVICE....
DON'T BUY ANY OF THE PEEK DEVICES....
DON'T EVEN BUY THEIR SO-CALLED NEW PEEK 9....
PEEK IS A RIP-OFF. STAY VERY FAR AWAY FROM PEEK....
======================================


TwitterPeek is either something you want or it is something you really despise. There seems to be no other than two ways about it. You either like it or hate it.

For the record, I do like the TwitterPeek. However, the TwitterPeek is not for everyone. Particularly, not for those who just don't understand Twitter and certainly not for those vocal Haters who can't understand the reason for a single-purpose device like the TwitterPeek when there are the more multi-purpose smartphones like the iPhone. People definitely do want to have their smartphones and all the more power to them. And then there are those people who will want the TwitterPeek for it's single-purpose simplicity and the lack of a monthly phone bill if you get the TwitterPeek with "lifetime" service. It's a choice that the beauty and the diversity of the marketplace provides because people will buy what they want.

Okay, let's compare the two sides of those who want the TwitterPeek and those who hate the Twitterpeek.

First, this is what is typically said by those who sadly really hate and despise the TwitterPeek with a vengeance in blogs and comments around the web:

1. TwitterPeek is nothing but a piece of @#$!&* junk.
2. Twitter is a complete waste of time.
3. Isn't Twitter just like TXTing which you can do with your cell phone anyways?
4. TwitterPeek is a complete waste of money.
5. Two Hundred Dollars can be used to buy a real smartphone.
6. Get a REAL smartphone like the iPhone, Droid, Blackberry, etc.
7. TwitterPeek is another device that you have to carry.
8. The TwitterPeek interface is horrible using that Scroll Wheel.
9. Using the Scroll Wheel to go into and out of tweets is like doing email.
10. TwitterPeek doesn't show complete tweets in the timeline.
11. TwitterPeek can't do the new Twitter Lists.
12. TwitterPeek can't do multiple accounts.
13. The company behind the TwitterPeek is doomed to go out of business.
14. Real Geeks hate the TwitterPeek and you should too.
15. Only idiots would want to use a TwitterPeek.

Now, let's go on to those who happily and definitely want the TwitterPeek:

1. TwitterPeek with lifetime service is now approximately one hundred bucks on Amazon.
2. TwitterPeek with lifetime service means no monthly bills.
3. TwitterPeek with no monthly bills goes perfect with a cheap or prepaid cell phone.
4. TwitterPeek is for people who don't want a smartphone.
5. Use TwitterPeek's keyboard to quickly go through tweets instead of using the Scroll Wheel.
6. Use the N and P keys to go quickly from tweet to tweet. It's not that bad.
7. You don't have to be a Geek to use a TwitterPeek.
8. The company behind TwitterPeek shouldn't go out of business.
9. People who use the TwitterPeek are not idiots. Don't Rain On Our Parade.
10. REPEAT: TwitterPeek with lifetime service is now approximately one hundred bucks on Amazon.

The battle between the LOVE-HATE adversarial opinions about the TwitterPeek is kind of ridiculous. It's like talking about religion where the people who hate the TwitterPeek really hate the TwitterPeek with a vengeance as an automatic reflex action on their part. The one area of contention that I find to be very silly is the criticism about the navigation using the Scroll Wheel. Yes, it's BAD going in and out of tweets using the Scroll Wheel and the back button. But the better way to really quickly go through your tweets on the TwitterPeek is to use keyboard commands. Click the Enter (Return) key on a selected tweet and then use the "N" key (for Next) and the "P" key (for Previous) to go from tweet to tweet (yes, one at a time) to very quickly and seamlessly go through your twitter timeline. This has the same practical effect of what you're doing anyways if you are reading one-tweet-at-a-time whether in a timeline or not. But the die-hard twitter aficionados and critics will say that you can't scan complete tweets in the whole timeline at once. Nonetheless, if you are quickly going through tweets... Read more ›
