Peek
Construyó un dispositivo de correo electrónico dedicado de $99 en el momento exacto en que iPhone y Android lanzaron — la revolución de los smartphones eliminó la necesidad de hardware dedicado de correo electrónico en 2 años
Declive de años antes del cierre final · Error fatal: Peek built a dedicated email device ($99 hardware, $19.99/month service). Premise: do one thing (email) brilliantly, without smartphone complexity. Raised $10M. Launched 2008. iPhone (2007) and Android (2008) had already launched with full email clients. T-Mobile G1 (Android, $179) launched October 2008. BlackBerry remained dominant. The smartphone revolution eliminated the need for a dedicated email device before Peek could achieve scale. Service shut March 31, 2011.
