    What Method Of 21st Century Communication Do You Prefer?

    From time to time I like to revisit the issue of communication because the options are constantly expanding and it is an interesting ongoing sociological experiment. So, the question is simple: which method of communication do you utilize most? More »

    Peek Classics Lose SMS Capabilities

    With the new Peek Pronto supporting unlimited SMS, the company will be cutting SMS out of new Peek Classics entirely. Luckily, those of you who already own Peek Classics will be allowed to keep your SMS (the company is not pulling any services retroactively). Seems like a fair enough way of handling the situation.

    Wow, it's like the longer you wait, the better the deals for the Peek email-on-the-go handheld get. First, there was the price drop to $80; then, unlimited texting. Now the company is offering to pay you entire November iPhone or G1 bill (up to $150), if you buy two peeks (one for you, and one for a friend) at getpeek.com before Monday, December 1. That means those of you with astronomically high phone bills could technically get two of them for a Hamilton.[Peek]

While we knew unlimited text messaging was already coming to the device, it's a pleasant surprise to find out it can now view images too. Peek will show .JPG, .GIF, .PNG and .BMP file formats when you click the “View Image” option. Considering its price drop to $80, this little gadget's becoming a better deal day by day. [JKontherun]

    Obama's Blackberry Could Be Banned From Oval Office

    Apparently President-elect Barack Obama is something of a Blackberry addict. Besides meaning he probably reads Gizmodo for all the latest Blackberry Storm info, this also means he has his Blackberry with him at all times, in the typical executive belt holster position. The trouble is, he's going to be President of the United States in January, and there are strict email laws and traditions that will all but bar Obama's favorite gadget from the Oval Office. Hmm. Maybe change isn't all it's cracked up to be? More »

    Nokia's E63 BlackBerry-Alike Arrives In His'n'Hers Colors

    Nokia's just dropped the E63 onto the scene, based on the E71, and aimed at bringing "the QWERTY keyboard form factor to a broader audience at a great price" according to Nokia itself. The skinny BlackBerry-alike candybar is also designed to meet the needs of a business phone and personal phone in one device, switching between corporate email/calendar mode and personal email/websites/photo mode. It also comes with 1GB of cloud file storage on Ovi so users will always have access to some of their files, and has Wi-Fi connectivity. We also know it has a camera, 3.5-mm audio jack and is in blue or red but Nokia's not revealed much else about its innards. Debuting in Europe for around $250. [Nokia]

    Dealzmodo: Peek Handheld, Time's 'Gadget of the Year' On Sale For $80

    Described as the "Kindle of email" the Peek handheld has been getting some good press lately. Time Magazine readers even voted it as "the gadget of the year"—although those results are dubious at best given the fact that the T-Mobile G1 came in a distant second. Nonetheless, Peek is currently offering their email-only handheld for $80—or $20 off the standard price. Keep in mind that unlimited use on T-Mobile will set you back an additional $20 per month.

    Peek Email-only Handheld Adds Unlimited Text Messaging

    Peek, the feature-sparse, email-only handheld will be adding unlimited text messaging to its service within the next few weeks. This will be done by taking advantage of the fact that most cellphones can receive text messages that have been emailed and send text messages to email addresses. Sure, it isn't an elegant solution but it's a clever workaround and it gets the job done. What more could you expect from the guys that somehow garnered enough votes to be considered the best gadget of 2008? [Alley Insider]

    Road Sign Translation Snafu Proves Machines Are Less Lazy Than Humans

    What happens when you ask a guy to translate something for you into a language you don't understand? This. The top part of the sign is in English, but when they emailed someone to translate that English into Welsh, the response actually said "I am not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated." That's right, it's an out of office message, which subsequently made it onto the road sign undetected. We hope those residents are getting used to Welsh truck drivers carrying heavy goods. [BBC - Thanks Christopher!]

You know, like "Dear Mom, Please send money, I'm still looking for a job, I promise" or "Can't hang out tonight, playing video games and feeling sorry for myself" or something like that.

    Sarah Palin Email Hacker Faces 5 Year Prison Term

    If prosecutors have their way, David Kernell, the 20 year old son of a Tennessee state representative and prime suspect in the Sarah Palin email hack will make an inmate looking for a young, supple jailhouse bride very happy. He was indicted today by a federal grand jury in Knoxville, Tenn for illegally accessing the account and faces up to 5 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and a three-year term of supervised release. A trial date has not been set, but it is safe to say that things don't look good. [USDOJ via Crunchgear]

    Official Gmail Goggles Add-On Prevents Shameful Drunken Emailing

    My new favorite Googler Jon Perlow has used his 20% time (that portion of it he doesn't spend hammered, apparently) to write Gmail Goggles, an official Labs add-on that makes sure you really want to send that 3AM email to your ex-girlfriend. Goggles employs five arithmetic problems that appear after pressing send (you choose the difficulty level!) that must be answered correctly in a limited time before your overly passionate and typo-ridden message can be on its way. It can also be scheduled to be active only on your party nights. Thanks big G! [Official Gmail Blog]

    According to CNET, Microsoft has decided to strip Windows 7 of all built-in email and media editing programs and replace them with optional downloadable apps that tap into Windows Live. Microsoft claims that the move was made out of a desire to ensure a quicker turnaround for future OS releases and to provide a more streamlined system that eliminates confusion and opens up the possibility of working with partners down the line.

    Suspected Sarah Palin E-Mail Hacker is the Son of a State Representative

    Last week it was revealed that the Palin email "hack" was little more than a lucky guess and that a trail of evidence existed that would likely lead the authorities to an arrest. Apparently, this evidence has lead the FBI to the home of a 20-year-old student at the University of Tennessee named David Kernell. To make matters worse, David is the son of Democratic Tennessee state representative Mike Kernell. The apartment was thoroughly searched, but no criminal charges have been filed just yet. I suppose it goes without saying, but if Kernell is found guilty, this simple hack may bring both his life and his father's political career to a screeching halt. [CNET]
