My 2 Cents: Now here is a fun deal for all ya iPhone and G1 owners that donÂ’t know what get the rents (parents) for the holidays. Seems like a pretty good deal to me…especially since this item was rated as one of the best gadgets of the year…
Yesterday we sat down for an interview with Amol Sarva, CEO of the email-handheld startup Peek. We’re in the midst of transcribing what was a fairly interesting conversation, but in the middle of our chat he proposed a curious deal, and we wanted to put it out there (as well as see the company put its money where its mouth is). Sarva and co. are pretty convinced that while the Peek may not be the perfect device for the hardcore gadget junkie, it is the perfect device for their moms or girlfriends (or boyfriends, we assume) — in fact, they’re so convinced that they’re offering to pay a month of said junkie’s iPhone or G1 bill (up to $150) if they buy a Peek for their mom… and girlfriend. According to Amol, if you buy two of the devices (which you can get for $79.95 right now) and activate them, the company will cover your November cellphone bill. Amol himself will be heading up this project, and as long as you place your order by December 1st, you can make the magic happen. Wildly, Amol says to just email him with the account info at: amol (at) getpeek (dot) com.
