OLDER PEEK DEVICES TURN INTO BRICKS

Peek migrated from their current carrier to T-Mobile and bricked older Peek devices.  Peek CEO Amol Sarva quickly offered existing Peek customers a brand new Peek 9 devices, which has no problems on the new carrier.  I guesss Peek customers will have to check their email on....oh I don't know....their smartphones, Blackberries, laptops, netbooks or desktops until their replacement comes through.

The Peek 9, which has been available last fall features email, SMS, Facebook, Twitter, Maps (but no GPS), Weather, Outlook and Exchange (with AutoSync), RSS, Word and PDF support along with something called Peektop Apps.

The Peek is primarily an email device that does a few other things, as noted above.  According the the Peek website "Peek's mission from Day 1 has been to do a few things very well, and dispense with junk. Peek 9 takes that mission and runs with it.We re-engineered the software to make email faster and more reliable, connect to corporate mail, and deliver the web apps you love. And with our brand new custom cloud applications, you can empower front line staff and first time users with a powerful, affordable mobile device that proves that simple is smart." [Gizmodo]
