If you have an overwhelming need to tweet your every move,you will have a hard time resisting TwitterPeek,a device that looks a little like those low-cost phones designed with texting in mind,but this one only sends messages to Twitter (of course,it lets you read them too). The TwitterPeek is a compact 4 inches tall by 2.7 inches wide by 0.4 inches thick. It weighs about 3.8 ounces. Part of the appeal,said the company,is that it saves money compared to buying a smartphone with a data plan. The device costs $100 in the US,including a full-year service. After the first year there is a $7.95 per month subscription fee; or pay $200 for unlimited lifetime service.
