We suppose it was bound to happen sooner or later. In addition to your PC and smartphone, you can now tweet your witty 140-character epiphany using a dedicated Twitter device, courtesy of Peek.
The company has just launched its TwitterPeek, a $99 hand-held gadget (available exclusively at Amazon) with a QWERTY keyboard, color screen, and click scroll wheel. For a single C-note, Peek will give you six months of unlimited service, after which the monthly fee jumps to $7.95. Or drop $199 right from the get-go and receive unlimited Twitter service for as long as you own the device.
Other features include nationwide coverage, a one year manufacturer's warranty, and a 30-day money back guarantee, which will come in handy after you realize "Holy hell, I just dropped a hundred bucks on a Twitter gadget!" In fact, you may want to tweet that before getting your money back. Or keep it and prove us wrong in thinking there's no way this thing catches on.
TwitterPeek will face competition everywhere it turns. Twitter apps are available on just about every smartphone, and you can already update your status with a text message, But it's not just about smartphones and PCs. Digital e-book readers are gaining steam, some of which boast Internet access.

What I would like to see is a list of "ideas" from the same dipshit that came up with THIS gem. That should be for some hilarious reading.

No Feasable Way, not even if you paid me. Who cares that much about twitter that they would carry around one more pocket lump.

You're kidding, right? Right?
Wait...you're serious.
No. Effin'. Way.
That's really just dumb.

That's really just dumb. Most people can just use their phone. Or use that $200 or $100 to buy a phone that has internet access. Plus, it's just another (large looking) device to carry in your pocket.

I would prefer to eat my own legs while singing the french national anthem covered in locusts.

Just looking at the examples in the pic there, you'd have to pay me a hundo or two to sit there and monitor Oprah, Demi, and John Mayer's tweets!

Why would I, If I ever had to twitter (not that I would ever do such a thing) I can use My Phone.
Going to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than standing
in a garage makes you a car.
