Off Topic: Back to Basics $100 device for mobile e-mail only

It's called Peek and costs $100 plus $20/month for service. I can deliver e-mail from up to three accounts (corporate not yet supported). It has no GPS, Web browsing, mp3 player, etc. and you can pick one up at Target or online. I like my devices simple so this is the first mobile e-mail device I've even been curious about.

Another reason it may be successful, offers a Frost and Sullivan analyst: "He said there are 264 million cell phone subscribers in the United States. But only 15 million of them are using their cell phone to access their e-mail."
