 "Can't activate... No customer service" 2010-07-24
By Y. Sawamiphakdi (California)
Very hard to open package. They use that Chinese junk plastic blister packaging.



Activated online Friday night. Waited for 20 minutes then turned on the Peek. No service (red x on antenna icon). Turned Peek off then on again. No service.



Customer service phone line was closed already. Won't open until Monday. Emailed [...]. No response. And my subscription time that I paid for is ticking away.



I thought Peek was known for their exemplary customer service! Guess not anymore.

 "It works and is low cost" 2010-06-24
By J. Keeling
This review is for the peek classic, the cheaper one. Got the peek this morning, activated the thing and immediately got emails. This afternoon, took the peek out in the Gulf of Mexico (working on the oil spill) and the device performed flawlessly. Cell phones work reliably out to about 3 miles on a good day, the peek uses T-Mobile's network and I can start working on received emails while returning to port. I should point out that the peek is very easy to figure out how to use. The peek classic has been criticized because it does not support push email. As you can scroll the menu down to the send/receive function and hit enter (you push in on the jog wheel), what's the problem? Too, when I drop the thing in the drink (notice I said when and not if) it won't cost an arm and a leg to replace like an iPhone would.



7/22/10 update:

updated this device to a peek pronto and newest operating system version. Cost only the priority usb cable which is available on peek's web site. Cannot really say things are any faster, but you can text with the peek pronto and the new bold fonts make reading texts/emails much easier. Do your self a favor and just buy the peek pronto from Amazon.com. It is worth the extra money. By the way, have not dropped the peek in the gulf yet.



8/26/10 update:

peek is now in Juno, AK. And it works great.

 "Agreed: not ready for prime time" 2010-06-24
By aardvark (Boston, MA USA)
I had a peek for several months. Except that I had to recharge the battery much more often than a cell phone (about every 2 days at most, every day worked better) it was pretty good.



Then I started to noticing problems, really just annoyances. Finally, around 12:30 p.m. I got all my emails for that morning. I was at my office all morning which has fabulous T-Mobile coverage so I don't see how the issue was a signal, I would think it's the peek servers.



Bottom line, it's a nice gizmo for emails, as long as the occasional 4 hour delay is not problematic to you. It is to me, so I canceled the service (which, I should say, they were not difficult about).

 "Not worth it." 2010-03-13
By I. Dennis
Leo Franklin is right on. This is a sleek, promising device that ultimately is not worth the money. The biggest problem, one that Peek seems to have addressed with the Pronto, is not receiving push emails. Anyone, even the most casual user, will get time-sensitive emails that need to be read within minutes or hours, and the Peek simply cannot be relied on to deliver emails within a timely fashion.



Another problem I encountered is the UI design--the "simple" scroll wheel definitely takes some getting used to. This coming from someone in interactive marketing, so I'm familiar with the UI of most mobile devices and quick to learn. Still I found myself (gasp!) having to consult the manual to perform some operations.



I had no problems with reception (in San Francisco), but the lack of push email rendered this device useless to me within the first month. I had prepaid for three months, but canceled early. I simply stopped using the Peek. I can't recommend it to anyone.

 "Slow, for grandma only" 2010-02-17
By Thor Albro (Seattle, WA United States)
We bought this to keep up with emails while away from our business on weekends. This thing is NOT for anybody with anything other than an occasional email. The problem is that the service collects ALL your emails, even if you have already down-loaded on your home PC, and then laboriously downloads them - frequently crashing in the process. Just too slow and cranky for us, but might be great for an occasional light user.

 "Some more relevant details up front would help." 2009-05-28
By DNA (Yardley, PA)
PalmOne m500 Handheld

The unit was brand new with all accessories included. What the posting did not mention however, was that the "native" language of the unit was Japanese. Starting from scratch, it was not difficult to convert almost all language into English. Unfortunately, the resident software, which cannot be erased, still had two apps in Japanese. If you activate either, the language of the entire PDA becomes Japanese. Unless you know Japanese or have a friend who does, and you can get back to English, you're S.O.L. Add one and a half stars if someone you know has a fix.

 "It's a bit of a toy." 2010-09-26
By Jack Showers (Louisiana)
I got a WiFi, non-3G version, the cheapest one; I don't need GPS and don't want to pay AT&T any more than I absolutely have to, and don't want another monthly subscription, either. Got plenty of those, it seems. And, at least for now, I don't need all that storage.



I'm not what one would consider a "Power User" of the iPad. I use a laptop constantly, and bought the iPad a couple of months ago because it is great looking and I was curious about it and I got a case of The Wants. I've been involved with computers since the mid-60's when I first was employed as an IBM 360 (and 1401 before that) programmer, and I've continued messing with them pretty heavily ever since, though I changed careers in the early 70's. Over the years, I've owned (in a small business) maybe 40 or 50 desktops and laptops, including several Apple IIe's way back when. I've always liked Apple products, but not used them due to the overwhelming prominence of DOS and Windows products (both software and hardware) and the excellent pricing of IBM clones.



But when the iPad came out, I couldn't help myself. I now pick it up several times a day and use it. I've taken it on trips without a laptop. Here's what I think, mostly.



Pros:

1. It's cool. No avoiding it, the little fella is great looking and has that Apple minimalist approach to design that they do so well.

2. It's tiny. Well, small, anyway. That's good and maybe bad, but it does have its appeal.

3. Screen resolution seems creamy, silky smooth. Don't know how they did it, and don't really care. It's good.

4. I love Apple's approach to WiFi.... Walking into a new place, without even the slightest thought from you, the iPad finds an open connection and asks if you want to connect to it. If you say yes, you never hear from it again. Done. If the proper connection needs a WPA code or such, it simply asks for it. No fuss. (It seems like Windows, which I use for hours every day and have since it came out, has never really felt comfortable with wireless networking).

5. No keyboard. Well, face it, most of the time you don't use one, anyway. Not having it is OK. No mouse, either, for that matter. Good.

6. Scrolling is a dream. Fabulous. Effortless. Scrolling, something that simple, is probably the single thing this little unit does best. You have to try it to understand it.

7. One of my apps (I don't have many) is a flight simulator similar to MS Flight Simulator.... X-Plane. It allows pilots to practice instrument flying, so I got it. VERY cool. No joystick foolishness. You must rotate the iPad itself like you would a yoke and the airplane turns or climbs or descends, or whatever. Way easier than Windows products to do the same thing.

8. Pilot friends who use other apps for charts and such love it, so I would guess that all graphics applications work pretty well on the little system, though I haven't tried. Oh, yeah, Google Maps and Earth and such look great, too. Apple always has done graphics well, so no real surprise.

9. Ditto for video.

10. Battery life is great. Days on end at my level of usage.

11. My Blackberry has a cute feature (maybe everyone has it, now): When typing an email address or URL, when one presses the space bar, the OS converts it to a @ or a period, whichever is appropriate. The iPad takes that to another level.... There is a ".com" key that enters that when pressed. A small thing, but more helpful than one might think on a device where typing ain't as easy as using an IBM keyboard.



Cons:

1. It's hard to hold and easy to drop. Needs a shell or something to protect it; that makes it as big as a netbook or small laptop, anyway.

2. Can't keep several "windows" open at the same time to switch back and forth. Not a horrible issue, because you can get back to a previous window relatively easily, but sometimes you'd like to have both open at the same time or be able to switch with a single click. If there's a way to do that I haven't found it.

3. Hotmail and Gmail don't work like they do on a laptop. Or on a Blackberry Storm2, for that matter. I don't know the issue, but I can't seem to find a way to send a new email (though it's easy enough to reply). I'm sure there is some app or setting to fix it, but I really don't want to be troubled with that. I just want it to work. Like the way WiFi does. (Since I wrote this, I actually went into the email setup and set it up; it works, but I would prefer to use Hotmail and Gmail as pure web based apps rather than something more akin to a cell phone feature, which, of course, it is).

4. You can't print from it. I've read that there is a wireless printing feature in the next OS. Waiting to see.

5. When working with it in your lap, either in a chair or a recliner or bed, a laptop is just more well suited for the job. The iPad has to be held up, and, the screen is lower, so you are craning your neck more. I don't use a stand to put it in. Things like that and the case to put it in detract from the advantage of small size, so you might as well use a small laptop which will make you happier in the long run for this sort of thing.

6. No keyboard. And don't tell me they make a keyboard for it. If I have to buy that, I might as well get a laptop. Typing on the screen is a trip. If you use the virtual keyboard holding the iPad in the "landscape" position the keyboard is large, and a little awkward to span the keys with your thumb. So, you end up turning the iPad up to the "portrait" position where the keyboard is better suited to thumb-typing. I haven't tried typing in the traditional way ("touch typing").... I just reach for the laptop. I'm using my Lenovo to type this review.

7. OK, here we go.... No Flash. Now, I don't have a dog in this fight, but I don't understand this. Every now and then (pretty often, actually) some video will come up and the iPad will tell me that it doesn't do Flash. (Happens frequently on sports and news sites). I never even knew what Flash was before this issue came up. Well, Apple wants me to go to iTunes to download their app that will let you view Flash files. OK, y'all, why didn't you just put it in the iPad from the get-go? I just want it to work. Yesterday, I wanted to watch a video of a Tropical Storm in the Caribbean, so I clicked on the link to go get Apple's app. Then I had to cycle through a few pages on iTunes. Heck with it. I just used the laptop (which has a larger screen, anyway). There's a saying: "People don't want quarter inch drills, they want quarter inch holes. "



So, what's the upshot?



I like it. I'd buy it again. No, I wouldn't wait for the Android competitors to come out. Well, I am curious about those and might get one of them, too, just to check it out. But, the WiFi-only iPad is a nice, polite little computer.



I do want to say this, and it's one of those potentially inflammatory things, but I don't mean it like that.... It's more of a toy than a tool. If I am really in need getting things done.... Spreadsheets, presentations, documents, etc, it's really hard to beat the tried and true Windows laptops that are available everywhere and are dirt cheap and fit in with the way things are done and the formats that are used throughout the business community.



So, sure I use it. This morning (a Sunday) I've been using it.... looking at airplanes for sale (daydreaming) and checking out a few football forums and generally surfing the web. So, if this review seems a bit too negative, that's not really intended. I like it.



That said, a would-be buyer needs to understand what it is that he is getting, and what that is, is something of a media machine that requires you conform to Apple's way of doing things, a very good little web surfboard and a pretty neat little toy.

 "Nice, but not perfect" 2010-09-24
By -=BlackStrike=-
As a professional photographer, I do see iPad as quite an useful tool for my portfolio presentations. I mean, be honest - if you get a photographer to bring you 10 lbs book with 50 prints inside and one that would give you this cool little gadget for preview of his photos, which one would leave better impression in this age?



Resolution isn't the best of the best but it is above 99% of other devices of similar nature and combined with 10" screen and 10 hours battery life, I think I'll be buying one of these soon.



But not from Amazon though. I've seen them in Apple store in Portland's Maine Mall and they're $499.95, which is already far below what you pay here. This is one of rare times that Amazon has disappointed me - I expected competitive prices and instead got outrageously different thing.



I gave it 4 stars because of price on Amazon but mostly because it doesn't play Flash content. Everything else about this device makes it a rising star. I just wish it could hold charge even longer so I can read books, but what the heck, I have my e-book reader for that. ;)

 "Maybe it is just a big iTouch" 2010-09-24
By C. D. Murphy (Natick, MA United States)
Bought this and hooked it up to my iTunes account. After registering it, Apple disabled my iTunes. And there is no way to contact them other than e-mail and they don't respond to it. So I have this new toy, and the only thing I know is that they spend billions to create "there's an app for that" and not one cent on customer support. So with no apps that I can buy (you can't even download free ones when they inexplicable disable your iTunes), this thing is probably worse than an iTouch. It's no better than my iPod other than a big screen for shows. But I didn't need that really. It's been a big waste of money and I'm going to return it.



And yes, the Wifi is pretty iffy too. It works great at home, but everywhere else is a crapshoot. And if it you let it close down to conserve power, you have to reconnect to get the Wifi you already had. There's probably an app that might help that.....but how would I know.



I would avoid this (will return mine) and go for a netbook.



I know this will fall on deaf ears to the followers of Apple kult. But if you aren't one of those, I would really think long and hard about spending $500 or more on something that will shut down your iTunes and make your first PC from back in the 90's seem like it is cutting edge. I mean, even those had solitaire.

 "Ok for a beginner, but lacks in advanced functions" 2005-10-23
By Sherlock (AR, USA)
Pros-

1.) Works good for someone who only needs basic functions such as date book, expense, etc.

2.) Compatible with Mac and PC, also can connect to other Palm Pilots via infrared transfer.



Cons-

1.) Black and white screen.

2.) Only 2 MB of memory. This is ok if you only use the basic functions of the unit, but if you install other applications it tends to start bogging it down.

3.) Unreliable battery. The battery lasted quite a while when I first got the unit, but after about a year of using it, it got to where now the charge only lasts for approx. 1 hour.



Conclusion:

This PDA is ok for a beginner or someone who needs basic functions, but if you are looking for a hard working PDA, invest a little more and get a better one.

 "most reliable and battery efficient palm I've ever used" 2005-07-01
By Jensen
I have had a zire (bought it open-box off of [...]) for about 2 years and it has performed admirably. While this palm has some very well-known limitations, it has (and is still doing) everything I need it to.

pros:

-amazing battery life (never drained it past 1/2 full, even after weeks of (admittedly light) usage.

-extremely durable. I work at Staples and this thing goes through thick and thin with me while I bang it around during my 8-hour day. While it has plenty of scratches, nothing's gone wrong with it and it still looks halfway decent.

-nice flip screen protector. While some people hate it, it does not compromise the zire's compact qualities and protects the screen while it's in my pocket.

-Very reliable. I will say this again. Nothing has ever broken, and I have had no defects show on this palm.



cons:

-no backlight. Not an issue for me, but may be a dealbreaker for some.

-only 2 buttons plus up/down buttons on face. It would've been nicer with more buttons, but I make do fine like this.

-Not fast by any means. I only do basic applications like scheduling and contacts, which work fine. but this thing will be extremely slow with any application that's processor dependent.



Conclusion: this is a great model for someone desiring a simple palm with great battery life that will take a beating. spending a couple bucks on a used/refurbished model is a way better deal than going with palm's least expensive current offering, the zire 21 (or even the zire 31, which has abysmal battery life).

 "Unreliable" 2005-01-27
By S. Brooker
I need a palm to have my calander and address book on hand at all times. This model proved to be extremely inefficient. The lack of backlighting meant that often I could not see what was on the screen and it's memory would empty from one moment to the next. I would be stuck with no calander or address book. I contacted the company by email and the only advice they had was to keep the Palm seperate from my cell phone. This I did, to no avail, the Palm continues to discharge it's memory.

I have now discharged the Palm into the rubbish bin and will not purchase another!

Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a form of wireless technology that lets you use devices without the hassle of cables or wires. What does that mean for iPod touch? It means you can use iPod touch with Bluetooth headphones and listen to your music no matter where in the room your iPod touch is. So lounge on your bed, while your iPod touch charges on your desk. Bluetooth on iPod touch is also great for peer-to-peer gaming.

Design

 "Like it, but.." 2010-09-27
By Ava L. Jernigan (Auburn, AL USA)
I do like the ipod touch, however if I would have known to wait just another week, I could have gotten the upgraded model. This one does have more than enough features than I really need but I guess for about $50 more I could have gotten the newer version. I mostly use it for school resources and the music so for me it is all I need. The only bad thing so far, was I loaded some picture to it and about a week after that, the photo file just completely locked up and I could not view pictures or anything. All the other functions and apps I have worked, just not the pictures. I had to completely restore my ipod. When I did that, the picture file started working again. We'll see if it continues to work right. Other than that, I think it has been a good buy.

 "Its ok" 2010-09-27
By N. Chen
I bought this last year and amazon displayed it as a 3rd gen 8 GB model. Since I don't know ipods i assumed everythingw as correct. I later found out that this is acutally a newer second gen ipod(?) after trying to install the new OS 4.1. It also redirects me to a 2nd gen ipod when i press the link for the 3rd gen 8gb on my profile. Paid 200 dollars for this last year and didnt think i got my moneys worth. But its not a bad product. Lesson learned. Gotta do research before buying stuff like this off amazon again... Pretty pissed at amazon right now.

 "Fun and Useful Item So Far" 2010-09-26
By Special K (Pittsburgh, PA)
I've only had this item for two days but so far so good. It's what I've hoped and have been told it would be. It's lightweight, user-friendly, produces pretty good sound, and very versatile. The scrolling takes a little getting used to but is definitely manageable. You definitely want to get a screen protector and quite possibly a decent portable case in case you put it in your pocket, purse, handbag, man-bag, or whatever. I'll update this in a few months.
