Not long ago, I had the opportunity to check out the Peek email device.  While I was not sure it warranted the mantle of Time Magazine’s Gadget of the Year, it is a pretty cool gadget for people who do not necessarily like gadgets.  It is pretty much the opposite of the all-in-one converged devices which we normally cover here.  Peek is the one-in-one device.  email only.

Today, Peek launch the Peek Pronto, which is a software upgrade for the Peek.  The new Pronto is significantly faster than the original Peek (now called Peek Classic).  It also supports up to five email accounts, as well as unlimited text messaging.  According to Peek, current Peek subscribers will be able to download the Pronto to their existing devices.

The new Peek Pronto is available now for $79.95.  The Peek Classic will continue to be available for $49.95.  The Classic is limited to two email accounts and will no longer be able to access text messaging.  Monthly contracts will continue to cost $19.95.
