If you've been eyeing the Peek, the "smartphone without the phone" device that gives you always connected email and text messaging for around $100 for the device itself plus $20 a month, today may be the day to buy. Peek is offering a one day $299.95 sale via which you can purchase a Peek device and unlimited email and texting for the life of the device. That's a great deal considering normal service runs almost $300 a year anyway. Unless of course, the economic downturn is hurting the company and that's why they're doing this one day sale. If the company ends, the finctionality of the product ends, so it's going to have to make it at least a year from today for you to get your money's worth. This doom and gloom outcome seems unlikely, however, as the device was on Time's Best Inventions of 2008 list and winner of Gadget of the Year. If you want to jump on this deal, but you don't have $300 lying around, chances are that this "today only" sale will be repeated again, as most "today only" sales are repeated, especially if they prove successful.
