Unique Gifts Ideas: Peek Pronto
Boy, Peek wasn’t kidding when it called its new device Pronto. With nary a press announcement to froth up the minds of mobile emailers the device has rushed straight to availability for $79.95, sadly in just one color. What does the $30 premium over the earlier Peek get you? Push email, Exchange support, and the device now allows for up to five accounts (the previous maxed out at two). The Pronto also supports PDF and Word attachments and (so the company claims) has overall faster performance (by 50 percent says the PR). Peek is also advertising unlimited text messaging, and while we’re not yet sure if that’s any different than the limited support the last model had, the Pronto should help you keep in touch with your daughter and your mother in one device. Service is still just $19.95, shipping now to the eager hands of complexity-averse messaging addicts everywhere.
If she`s isn't already rocking a smartphone, you may overwhelm her with that gift of an Android, BlackBerry or iPhone. But if she's chatty like our moms, she'll enjoy being able to send emails and texts from anywhere-as long as it's easy. Mom can keep the old flip phone she's still fond of for phone calls but also get unlimited mobile emailing and texting by carrying along the cellular-connected Peek Pronto.
$80, plus $20/month service; getpeek.com
