Reading this article got me wistful for my Peek https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peek_(mobile_Internet_device). You can do so much with email (todo lists, news, etc) and the device just felt good. It had a physical keyboard (!) and a real scroll wheel on the side.

Peek was also created by a small company but doesn't have the community support that the Chumby or Pebble has now. Maybe that's a product of being connected only to a cellular network?

Such a wonderfully simple device! I always wanted one of those. Do they still work/can they still access the internet?
Sadly, no - there's no wifi option. Peeks were (seemingly) hard-wired into a T-Mobile network that is no longer operational.
