Meet the Peek — $100 and $20/month for service, not exactly at the cheap threshold for it to be a fun device to pick up for hacking – but it will be interesting to see if folks want an always on email only device. If it’s hackable (all things are usually) it could be used for some projects that need a data connection like a GPS / location beacons, sensor devices, etc.
