TwitterPeek Handset Launched [World’s First Dedicated Twitter Device With 2.5 inch QVGA & Full QWERTY Keyboard]

Folks from Peek Inc, a mobile device company headquartered in New York, have come up with the world’s first dedicated Twitter device. Seeing the potential behind one of the most hyped social networks today, the company have released TwitterPeek, a device that allows you to read and write tweets on the go, replies and retweets, sends direct messages and download followers directly from your account.

The TwitterPeek is a simple device that only works on Twitter. It comes packed with a 2.5 inch QVGA landscape display, has a full QWERTY keyboard to type from, a trackwheel on the side for “navigation” and a battery that should last up to three days.

Designed for those users that don’t own a web-enabled mobile phone to play with, the TwitterPeek will cost you $99 to buy it and an additional $8 monthly for the standalone Twitter access. Of course if you have some green on hand then there’s the $200 version that won’t charge any monthly fees to access your account.

TwitterPeek will make it easy and affordable for everyone who doesn’t have a smartphone to really enjoy Twitter on-the-go,” said Peek chief Amol Sarva wrote in a statement. “Newbies will finally ‘get Twitter’ once they have TwitterPeek in hand. Even businesses that Twitter will dig TwitterPeek as a convenient way to stay connected with their customers.”

Of course the chance for the TwitterPeek to actually make it big are rather low, and that has nothing to do with aesthetics, but I’m pretty sure we won’t be getting around with individual gizmos for every single service we need. No?
