Do We Really Need a Twitter Only Device

This could be filed under, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." In an article titled "It's the First Twitter-Only Mobile Device, But Why? PC World ask "Do we really need twitter-only devices."

A humorous comment that accompanies the article says, "Oh yeah, I remember those, we called them pagers."

And while I'll admit that I kind of like the idea, I can't really see the need when most smart phones can either go directly to the site or have various Twitter applications. But I also have to think that there are some people who may prefer this over the higher costing smart phones.

The device called a TwitterPeek is available exclusively from Amazon, which also sells the Peek Pronto Mobile Messaging Device for $299, including a lifetime service contract (see below).
