Sometimes simplicity has it's place as our tech world spins at warp speeds with iPhones, blackberry's, mobile computing, wifi, and other gadgets that keep us connected. Many people do not like contracts, do not want to learn yet another operating system, and become Web 2.0 "fatigued" with all of the choices.

If you are not a techie, if you do not like technology curves that seem to always place you at the bottom looking up, maybe the following product is something to consider for your mobile email purposes: the peak

The Peak

Peak bills itself as "a super thin and stylish device that lets you take your email with you and stay connected."

2. Inexpensive costs at $99.95 per Peak

3. Nationwide coverage take it anywhere

4. Easy set up enter your email, register and go!

3. Limited keyboard options
