Considering I've tried emailing you about the contest before (and about maybe some info on the hardware behind it) and gotten no response, I'm probably assuming so.]]>Sep 3rd 2008 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/peek-email-only-handheld-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/peek-email-only-handheld-gets-reviewed/Sep 3rd 2008 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/peek-email-only-handheld-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/peek-email-only-handheld-gets-reviewed/

You can have all that and more in a device about the same size.
Most of us already carry some sort of cell/mobile phone with data included and thus email access and more ...]]>Sep 3rd 2008 7:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/peek-email-only-handheld-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/peek-email-only-handheld-gets-reviewed/Sep 3rd 2008 8:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/peek-email-only-handheld-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/peek-email-only-handheld-gets-reviewed/
If she breaks it, no biggie. 100$ out of pocket vs 200-400$ and a contract.

Having it separate from her phone means that she can leave it when she goes out with her friends and still have her phone.]]>Sep 3rd 2008 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/peek-email-only-handheld-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/peek-email-only-handheld-gets-reviewed/I don't live in the US of A.

This would perfect for them. Good price point, good form factor, and seems to do it's one thing very well.

I think that's who will buy it and why.]]>Sep 3rd 2008 7:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/peek-email-only-handheld-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/peek-email-only-handheld-gets-reviewed/Sep 3rd 2008 7:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/peek-email-only-handheld-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/peek-email-only-handheld-gets-reviewed/Sep 3rd 2008 7:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/peek-email-only-handheld-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/peek-email-only-handheld-gets-reviewed/Sep 3rd 2008 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/peek-email-only-handheld-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/peek-email-only-handheld-gets-reviewed/
