A small startup company, Peek, has introduced a new gadget — or, perhaps, an antigadget — called, not surprisingly, “Peek.” It’s basically a mobile handheld e-mail reader. And that’s all it’s for — reading and sending e-mail. No, seriously, it is a brand-new device, and it does just one thing: e-mail. In an age of smartphones, mini laptops, netbooks, tablets, and genre-busting devices like the iPod touch, the Peek is an anomaly. It comes with a 2.5-inch 320-by-240 pixel color screen, a QWERTY thumb-pad keyboard, and a scroll wheel on the side.
