Last night, on the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon show, a device known as the TwitterPeek made a surprise guest appearance. For those who don’t know, TwitterPeek is a mobile device that just does Twitter.

And that’s all. The device retails for about $99, but requires $7.95 per month for mobile access. You can also pay $199 and receive the device and a lifetime worth of Tweeting, it’s your choice.

Peek has a deal going on at Blockbuster. Right now, you can get the smartphone dedicated to email and text messaging at Blockbuster video for $59.99 with the $14.99 monthly fee for service. Plus if you act now, those who buy the Peek can get one month free of Blockbuster Total Access, allowing the user to rent DVDs and Blu-ray’s by mail or in the store. By the way, the Peek has a new version for dedicated Twitter access. It’s nice, really.

Do you have a mobile phone? Is it capable of checking email? Well then, you probably don’t have one of Peek’s mobile email devices. But, for those of you looking to pick up one of said devices, read on.

It was recently announced that Peek would be lowering the price of their two devices, the Pronto and the Classic, to $60 and $20, respectively.

Unfortunately, if you actually want to get one of these working you’re going to have to pay 20-bucks a month.

There, the headline just about sums up everything that I have to say about this device that a NY startup called Peek is planning to unleash on our multitasking, convergent society. For $100, Peek is ready to hand you a device that is capable of checking/sending emails that come your way on T-Mobile’s $19.95-per-month connection. Now, I don’t know about you guys, but I would definitely hate lugging around a device for just a single utility that is already available on my do-it-all, which, apart from allowing me to access my mail, plays my videos/music/games, snaps pictures, and guides me across the country by its GPS. But I guess Peek might have a niche market to tap into if they are really forging ahead with this idea. Let’s see what surprises Peek will have a peek at after the device is released on September 14th.
