Unlimited Twitter on the go for $7.95/month with Peek

The folks at Peek have been featured here on Gadling ever since we brought you one of the first ever reviews of this mobile all-you-can-eat email device. In fact, we were so impressed with the little emailer, that it was featured as one of our top 25 products of 2008.

A couple of things changed in Peek world in 2009 – most notably, the introduction of their faster Peek Pronto. But it appears they are keeping the best for the end of the year with a dedicated Twittering Peek.

The first photos of this device leaked out last week (Peek isn’t good at keeping a secret), but the first official leak comes from Amazon.com.

TwitterPeek is priced at $99.95, and comes with 6 months of service. After that, each month is just $7.95.

To be honest, this sounds like one hell of a deal, and Peek did two things right here – they priced it right, and they jumped on the Twitter traction. Twitter is hot, and an $8 mobile Twitter device is going to be a huge hit – it wouldn’t surprise me to find this under the tree at many households this holiday season. Normally, getting Twitter on the go requires a decent smartphone and a pricey data plan.

An official announcement from Peek will probably follow later today, but if you can’t wait, Amazon is more than willing to accept your orders right now.

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.
