Gadling Giveaway – Peek Pronto with 12 months service!

by Scott Carmichael on

Peek has been a Gadling favorite ever since we were one of the first sites on the Internet to post a review. The $49.95 device offers no-contract email and unlimited text messaging for just $19.95 a month.

With the Pronto, Peek took their award winning device (Wired crowned them “favorite gadget of the year” in 2008), and added a bunch of really cool new features, but you’ll need to watch the short video clip posted after the jump to learn just what those new features are.

For your very own chance at winning a Peek Pronto with 12 months of included service, tell us just one of the new features added to the Peek Pronto.

Gadling readers compile U.S. road trip must-sees

by Brenda Yun on

Gadling would first like to congratulate Karin V, Arti K, and Benderillo, who are the lucky winners of our Road Trip USA giveaway! A copy of Road Trip USA, Route 66, and the Pacific Coast Highway are heading to your doorsteps as I type this.

Here are our winners’ road trip destination descriptions:

from “Road Trip USA” winner Karin V:
The North Rim of the Grand Canyon is a must see! It seems that most people opt to head to the South Rim. The North Rim is a little out of the way and a bit more isolated, but that is what makes it so wonderful. There is a wonderful lodge just outside the park in the Kaibab forest that is a fantastic place to stop and spend a little time too.

from “Route 66” winner Arti K:
I was returning to California after finishing graduate school up in Illinois – so I decided to do a road trip from Chicago to Los Angeles, via Seattle. Logical, I know. =). But the biggest highlight was driving through South Dakota, seeing signs for a ‘scenic detour’, and quite literally stumbling on the Badlands National Park. The majesty of the place can’t be exaggerated, and it is such a shocking change after the rolling plains of South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois and onwards to the east. It is absolutely a must-see! I missed out on seeing the ‘Going To The Sun Road’ (Montana) and Mt. St. Helens (Oregon) as these are at higher elevations and I was traveling around the end of May. These are next on my must-see list.

from “Pacific Coast Highway” winner Benderillo:
Redwood National Forest. A walk amongst the Giant Trees is something that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
