While I was at Target tonight (Manchester CT) I spotted this Peek wireless email device priced at $49.95. The unit doesn’t show in the weekly sales circular which left me wondering if this could be a pricing mistake or maybe the start of a permanent price reduction. Upon further investigation, if you look at Peek’s own site here, you’ll see they are now offering the device at $49.74. Peek has experimented previously with specials and deals that temporarily lowered the price of the device. This time it looks like the cheaper price is here to stay. Now they just need to get the monthly email fee down to under $10. UPDATE: Peek’s site lists a “Valentine’s Day” special and this $49 price may be in honor of the day – time will tell if this is the new everyday price for the Peek.
