For those unfamiliar with Peek, the device was meant to be an email-only handheld, and the company eventually added a second device that exclusively worked on Twitter too. Peek’s service was provided via T-Mobile’s network and you could even buy a lifelong service plan for $299. The thing about lifelong coverage is it refers to the life of the product, not the user. As of the end of last month, the Peek network has gone dark<\/a>. I’m honestly shocked it took this long. I’ve long shared Alton Brown’s disdain for single-use devices.
