It tweets. And that's all.

First there was Peek, the handheld device that only does email. Then came Peek Pronto, the handheld that only does text messaging. Now, the single-minded gadgeteers at Peek Inc. have announced a third device called Twitter Peak, that only does...Twitter.

The gizmo lets users post 140-character bon mots to their Twitter account and find out what Ashton Kutcher had for breakfast at a moment’s notice. That’s it. No distracting email checking or phone conversations. Just...Twitter. How much would you pay for all this marginal functionality? Would you believe...a hundred bucks? That ill-spent Benjamin will also get you six months of Peek’s unlimited Tweet-anywhere mobile service. After that, it’s $7.95 a month. Or, if you’re gullible enough to pay $199, you get lifetime free Peek Tweet service! It’s not quite clear whether “lifetime” means yours or the device’s. But either way, if Twitter Peek is appealing to you, you really need to get one. A life, that is.
