Peek CEO offers to pay your next cellphone bill just for being nice to your mom/girlfriend :)

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008 |

Peek, a super simple email-only device has been generating a lot of buzz lately. To make this $79.95 (+$20/month for data) device even more interesting, if you buy one for your mom and your girlfriend, they will even pay your iPhone/Tmobile G1 monthly bill for November of 2008 (up to $150 USD). Not too shabby - in reality you are getting the two devices for free.

Check out more about this deal here. We’re hoping to get a review unit and let you know how it performs. From the looks of it - I think it’s perfect for the targeted, non-techie, audience.

WALL•E is available: can cause cancer or birth defects, FTW?

Disney has put a fully featured remote controlled WALL•E up for pre-orders today. This is definitely something I would LOVE to get, since it does contain some cool AI functions. You can tell it to follow you, or to go explore - and he will do just that making it not just as any other remotely controlled toy. My cat will love it for sure!

One thing bothers me, and that’s what’s written under Additional Information box:

WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, or birth defects or other reproductive harm.

What a fart is all this about? What chemical is it? All these toys lately made in China are becoming way too dangerous, or in reality, they were always dangerous but lately we are at least (vaguely) informed of the dangers they bring.

I guess at least it is not Radioactive (or is it?), like the Glowing Lanyards a Japanese couple was arrested for selling… [read here]

If you still want it, it’s available now at Disney store for preorder for $249 bucks.

Does anyone know what the chemical is? It might be something miniscule but still I’d like to know ;)
