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.

Buy Two Peek Handhelds and They'll Pay Your Phone Bill
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] -

Peek Handheld Can Now View Images, Text Unlimitedly
The Peek handheld, recently named the Time's best gadget of 2008, has now gotten even better with two added features. 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]

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]

Microsoft's Guided Tour of the Windows 7 Taskbar
As we pointed out in our Windows 7 walkthrough, one of the biggest improvements to the UI is the taskbar. It is hard to explain new features like "Peek" and how the functionality of the taskbar has evolved without actually showing you how it works—so this video should do a lot to clear things up. All-in-all it looks like a major upgrade. [Lifehacker via NeoWin]

Windows 7 Taskbar, 'Peek' and Multitouch Gestures Caught On Video
Our in-depth preview of Windows 7 mentioned a few major features that didn't quite make it into the copy we tested, but the wily crew at Chilean site FayerWayer have caught a more advanced build on (sickeningly shaky) video. Most notably, the long hands-on shows off the new dock-esque taskbar, with decent task grouping, contextual program options and a slick new glassy look. Touch navigation is demonstrated in IE and Word, among others, but support is kind of patchy — IE has smooth inertial scrolling, while Word and and the image viewer just have embarrassingly choppy, albeit multitouch, gesture support.

Peek Wireless Email Device Goes On Sale, Still Cheap as Hell
The surprisingly well-liked cheap Peek email handheld is ready for pre-order on its own site, at $100, plus unlimited use on T-Mobile for $20/month. It may be low-fi, but anything that works consistently well doing a straightforward but important task for a fairly low price has a place at my table. The only catch is—and I know you're gonna be pissed—you can't get it in Aqua Blue or Cherry. Whether they're sold out (as the company claims) or not in stock (the likelier story), you are out of luck. If you want one now, you gotta get Charcoal Gray. [Peek via Electronista]

Peek Handheld: No Phone, No Frills, Just Email
I'm not sure if the Peek emailer is a great idea or a stupid one. Basically, the Peek is a stripped down handheld device with a QWERTY keyboard that does nothing but handle your email. The shaky logic behind the device is research that shows roughly 90% of email users are not checking their email on the go—but why they assume this group would forgo the cellphone they surely already have for yet another gadget is beyond me. Besides, the Peek is set to debut in Target on Sept 14th for $100 with T-Mobile service running $15 a month. That doesn't seem like a value to me. More »
