Zeebo this morning unveiled a self-titled console which it says could bring video gaming and other Internet features to countries that previously haven’t had widespread access to the technology. The system combines a 528MHz Qualcomm MSM processor with a free, 3G link over HSPA that lets the console perpetually remain connected to the Internet without requiring a hardwired connection. Users can buy and download games anywhere the console gets coverage; the cellular link will also allow frequent system updates and, eventually, the ability to share the Zeebo’s connection with computers or other devices that might be relegated to dial-up in developing areas. The hardware will primarily focus on mobile-class 3D games and already has the support of Capcom, EA, Gameloft and other significant developers. About 1GB of flash memory provides the permanent storage, while an SD card slot lets owners add more. Control is more like a traditional TV-attached console with three full-size USB ports and one mini allowing multiple dual-analog gamepads and other peripherals. Read the rest of this entry »

Peek on Tuesday followed up its teasers with the launch of the Peek Pronto, its second-generation messaging-only device. The hardware earns its name through an emphasis on speed and adds support for push e-mail that arrives almost as quickly as it’s sent; this includes new Microsoft Exchange support for business users. The interface is also roughly 50 percent faster and now supports SMS text messaging, letting users talk directly to other cellphone users for the first time. As before, the Pronto continues to run on T-Mobile USA’s EDGE data network for the bulk of its messaging and supports as many as five e-mail accounts. Its emphasis on text also helps give it a battery life of between two and three days despite a 2.5-inch color display. Peek is selling the device today for $80 when attached to a $20 per month, contract-free plan that provides both unlimited e-mail and texting; Amazon gets a two-week exclusive but will be followed in April by retail sales at Radio Shack.
