The TwitterPeek - Polidicks

What is this faggotry? [img]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/11/500x_twitterpeek.jpg[/img] [quote]I still can't believe the TwitterPeek exists. It's a portable device that only does Twitter. Seriously, who the hell would spend $200 on this? Am I crazy here? The original Peek, which just runs email, is something I would never buy in a million years. But I could understand why some people might like it. It's simple, its inexpensive, and it lets you run email without paying for a fancy smartphone plan. That's fine. Email is important and universally useful. But this? Twitter only? Twitter is something that you can do easily on a smartphone, yes, but it's also something you can use easily on any phone. It's a service based on text messaging, for god's sake! In practice, you could use Twitter on your phone no matter what phone you have. Hell, even StarTacs supported SMS and could use Twitter, if you happen to still be using one. Maybe they expect this to be used by people without cellphones at all? Why would anyone carry a device that does only Twitter instead of getting a basic free cellphone that can call friends and restaurants and companies with phones (all of them)?[/quote] :confused: Really???!!!!! source [url]http://gizmodo.com/5396213/the-twitterpeek-is-so-dumb-it-makes-my-brain-hurt?skyline=true&s=x[/url]

$200? Hell no.

I saw this on g4 (attack of the show) and I could just think: "WTF."

Why would anyone spend ANY money on this in the first place?!?

Why not just buy a smart phone and then access Twitter? Much cheaper and more useful.

I could just think of the commercial for it now: "Tired of using your phone for twitter? Wanna use twitter on the move without having annoying people calling you? Then get the TwitterPeek, we'll make sure everyone thinks you are a dumbass."

i would get it for free if it was a promotional thing

Twitter works with SMS only in US. But about every platform has a client so still, retarded.

If I got this for free I would love it (cause I twitter too much) but daaayummm $200 for a goddamn twitter device? fucking stupid.

I cant stand twitter.

I only use it to follow up on certain games and other things I'm waiting to have released.

Can't you do the same thing on your phone?

No it's retarded

Probably a plastic piece of shit.

I'd pay maybe $75 for it if I was addicted to twitter. This seems pretty redundant.
