New Twitter-Only Handheld

twitterpeekI just read on Mashable about the official release of the Twitter Peek, a new handheld Internet device that connects only to Twitter.  It’s a head-scratcher.  Obviously, any smartphone out there will connect to Twitter one way or another.  The price is good ($199.99 with lifetime mobile service included or $99.99 with six months included and then a monthly fee) but it seems to me that purchasing a smartphone makes a lot more sense because it can accomplish other tasks, like .. well .. making phonecalls.  Peek is known better for their handheld email-only devices.

Regardless of whether the product makes sense or anyone will buy it, I think it’s an interesting statement on how much Twitter is weaving itself into our lives.  Have you ever seen a Facebook-only device?  Yeah … me neither.
