And 3g soon, too. I'd be surprised if this off-brand thing even has edge, but then again, I guess it doesn't matter that much if all you can do is send emails. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[chuck]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 20th 2008 6:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Peek: the handheld that does e-mail, and only e-mail]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/</guid><description><![CDATA[price should cheaper...not quite sure why any one would want this....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ojas Shah]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 20th 2008 7:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Peek: the handheld that does e-mail, and only e-mail]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sounds like they couldn't get the price down, at $49, these things would be selling like crazy, at $99, it's gonna sit on the shelves]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Trevor]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 20th 2008 9:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Peek: the handheld that does e-mail, and only e-mail]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/</guid><description><![CDATA[I was thinking $25 for the device and $5.00 monthly (or free co-marketed with a broadband provider).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Eric]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 20th 2008 10:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Peek: the handheld that does e-mail, and only e-mail]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/</guid><description><![CDATA[Honestly, I think if marketed correctly, It could be a hot seller.

I think it has a small chance of succeeding depending on the user. If it can at least surf the mobile web and include major instant messaging clients at a price of 19.95 a month, and maybe a little video and audio playback, i would definitely bite. Only device that comes to mind right now is that Nokia N810 or that thing by Sony, but they are just WiFi only i believe]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 21st 2008 12:05AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Peek: the handheld that does e-mail, and only e-mail]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/</guid><description><![CDATA[Word.

Its Just too limited. However, if this device did 3 things.<br><br>    IM: push, always on, logs server side.<br><br>    Email. Imap, exchange, push global or individual inbox and as many send server as you like.<br><br>    A Super Browsers, not like safari, more like skyfire, almost all the work done server side, tons of compression.<br><br>Take everything else out, camera, maps, stocks, weather, dancing...forget the rest of it. Just give it edge, but top end edge, so you are actually getting 384kbps, not 150kbps, and 3 weeks battery life on standby and the guarantee that it "just works." no restarting, or crashing or whatever else. Uptime and no thought.<br><br>You can keep all the apps in memory, three dedicated app buttons and a keyboard/touchscreen combo for browsing and editing, nothing else. <br><br>I think that is what they were going for and just feel short of the mark. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Some Guy On the Internet]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 21st 2008 5:03AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Peek: the handheld that does e-mail, and only e-mail]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/</guid><description><![CDATA[If it did push Exchange only - it would still be a winner in the corporate world - if only because of the price and simplicity.<br> ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pete]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 22nd 2008 9:47AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Peek: the handheld that does e-mail, and only e-mail]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/</guid><description><![CDATA[I really like that form factor, thats what a Palm Treo should look like, maybe more screen real estate.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[keithwwalker]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 21st 2008 6:51PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
