In an attempt to give the so-called Twitterholics the access to their social networking stream on the go, mobile e-mail and texting supplier Peek has made the addition of the Twitter client to its listings of portable devices - with the launch of the dedicated 'TwitterPeek' in the US markets!

The TwitterPeek is being offered at a $100 cost along with a nearly $8 monthly service charge, or a lifetime service offer for $200, inclusive of the device. Meanwhile, the two other mobile text- oriented devices from Peek include the original $20-priced Peek Classic and the $60-priced Peek Pronto, both of which need a monthly service fee of $15.

The pocket-sized TwitterPeek supports a QWERTY keypad, and brings Twitter push-notifications to the public. Targeted at Twitter users who do not possess a smartphone, the TwitterPeek enables them to stay abreast of the most recent tweets either via a mobile browser, or through apps like Tweetie, TwitterBerry, and EchoFon.

The TwitterPeek is basically designed for the 'starters' - it cannot help users send and receive emails, but it enables them to manage their network of friends; preview TwitPic photos; and open links contained in tweets and view webpages as plain text.

Talking about the device, Amol Sarva, Peek CEO, said: "Newbies will finally 'get' Twitter once they have TwitterPeek in hand. Even businesses that Twitter will dig TwitterPeek as a convenient way to stay connected with their customers."
