Peek for your email

Buy the Peek for $99 and get unlimited email delivered to the device for twenty a month. T-Mobile provides the connect.
No voice. No web. No YouTube. Just email.
I wish this had been around about eight years ago – it would have been the perfect fit for some of my friends. But in 2008 why would you carry another gadget around when you have:
a) given up email for text
b)realized that you can get email on your phone
WHY? Maybe Peek has the answers.
Spam turns 30!

Not the food product.
It’s the 30th birthday of the billion-dollar annoyance that floods your inbox with annoying messages.
Wikipedia has a thorough history of spam if you are motivated.
Sounds like the first spam was sent over an early form of the Internet known as Arpanet. The subject was information about a new line of computers entering the market. In ’94, two lawyers flooded Usenet groups with info about getting a green-card.
NOTE: SPAM refers to the meat product made by Hormel. Electronic spam is NOT uppercase. Otherwise, the makers of SPAM have no objection to spam
SPIM: Spam via IM.
Text spam has been tagged as spaSMS but I don’t think the term has caught on.
