SayType may or may not effectively translate speech to text on your phone

By Staff Editor on Wednesday, Dec 31st 2008 1 Comment

hands free 001 We have all run into the text while you drive drivers on the freeway that just don’t seem to see where the lines are. I must admit that I have been that person a time or two, but some of these people might as well be watching TV or reading the newspaper while driving.

Luckily for us SayType aims to end this problem with their voice to text services. The service allows you to compose text messages or email without even touching your device. Just sign up for this service, phone the company and you have 120 second to say what you need to say. But just how well does this service work?

Peek on sale for $50 today only

By Brenda Stokes on Wednesday, Dec 3rd 2008 No Comments

peeksale If you have any interest at all in the device known as Peek, then you had better get moving! Apparently, for today only you can get the handheld for just $49.95. That’s a pretty good deal, which is about $30 off of its previous asking price.

I never exactly saw the appeal of this device, especially since its one and only feature is email access. Is it trying to be an old school BlackBerry? I guess no one can really know. But if you need email and you need it now, the Peek might be for you.

The only catch here is that you’ll have to shell out $20 a month for the network access. Other than that, though, this is a pretty good deal. Again, if email is your one and only means of communication.

Peek add SMS, image attachment viewing, to email messenger

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Nov 19th 2008 1 Comment

The Peek email messenger is either the pinnacle of task-specific devices, or an under-functional waste of pocket space, depending on your stance on convergence. Reviewers seem fairly happy, but one regular critique is the device’s unwavering obsession with email above all other types of messaging. Now Peek have responded by adding SMS compatibility, together with updating the email app to support a broader range of image attachment viewing.

Peek Wireless Email Messenger reviewed: Oversimplified?

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Oct 7th 2008 2 Comments

The Peek wireless email device seems to polarize opinion; some people are quite drawn to its simplicity and dedication of purpose, while others scoff at the concept of something only doing one task when we expect every other gadget we carry to do multiple. Gear Diary picked up one of the $99 handhelds and have been testing it out: after all, if you’re only going to do one thing, you’d better do it right.

MobileMe – Why It Makes Me Angry and Hopeful

By Brenda Stokes on Thursday, Jul 24th 2008 No Comments

mobile me Apple’s MobileMe is an innovative synchronization service that allows you to keep your bookmarks, emails, calendar, contacts and photos all up to date on all of your devices including your laptop, desktop and iPhone. This is a fantastic idea because I have wasted more hours than I can count getting all of my devices to sync up and “talk” to each other. I e-mail myself things instead of plugging in my phone to my laptop, because it takes too long. You get the picture.

So with MobileMe, I was pretty excited. It offered a convenient way to connect all of my junk (as I call it) and since I already had a .mac account, this was a no brainer. Of course when .mac switched to Mobile Me, all the images on my website disappeared, but that’s an entirely different story…
