If only there were a way to tweet from a mobile phone. Until Twitter and the mobile carriers concoct such a function, however, it looks like we’re all stuck with the TwitterPeek, the latest device from Peek Inc. The new gadget features a color screen, which lets users send and receive tweets–and that’s pretty much it.
The TwitterPeek is a slow little handheld that lacks some of the vital Twitter features one can get on their smartphone–like, say, reading full tweets. Says Sascha in his 1.5 star review (yes, out of five):
The main list of tweets only shows the first three and a half words of each message; to read more, you have to dig down by hitting the ‘return’ key. Then you can step through tweets, slowly, one by one, with the ‘n’ (for next) and ‘p’ (for previous) keys, or jump back up to the unreadable full list of truncated messages. The whole process is slow and annoying.
He does call the thing “frickin’ adorable,” however. And it’s pretty cheap at $99 including 6 months of service, so you know, buy two so you have an extra standing by after you smash the first one.
