If you’re a Twitter freak and think that a dedicated Twitter device is just the thing for you, read on.

This week we saw the launch of the TwitterPeek

, a cute little device built by Peek

that will do just about anything you want it to do, as long as all you want it to do is access Twitter. It won’t surf the web. It won’t make phone calls. It won’t support third party apps. But it most certainly does run Twitter.

You can get it in black. Or, if you want to show a little flair, you can get in in cyan.

For some crazy reason I wanted one. A friend bought me one that I will truly love forever(ish). But the company also sent me one. And while I may or may not need one TwitterPeek, I almost certainly don’t need two TwitterPeeks.

This is where you come in.

We’re giving one of these away to a TechCrunch reader. It’s the cool one, cyan, with lifetime service that costs $200. And it’s all yours. Just retweet this post and make sure to include the short URL link – http://bit.ly/3U2Yhy

– as well as the #crunch hashtag. Please only tweet the message once, anyone tweeting repeatedly will be disqualified. Tomorrow we’ll sort through all of the tweets and pick one randomly for the win. You’ll get the TweetPeek device in the mail, and we’ll throw in a TechCrunch tshirt. Even the postage is on us. But please note that in this case only U.S. readers are eligible, because the device only works in the U.S.

By the way, if this goes well and everyone doesn’t spazz out, we’ll do a giveaway every week. Next week we’ll give away a Droid if we can talk Motorola, Verizon or Google into paying for it. If you are a company that has a cool device befitting the refined tastes of a TechCrunch reader (as defined by us) and want to supply the goods, let us know in the comments or via tips@techcrunch.

Oh. And on an unrelated note, it’s unlikely we’ll be returning this test unit, Peek. Something, err, happened to it. I mean we lost it. Actually, it never arrived.

This thing is teeny and lovable and I want to christen it with a name worthy of its stupendiousity. My friends, who will remain nameless but will be twitterfied (@alexis_morrell and @ysoyrebelde and @lordbyron42), recommend peek-a-boo so I think I will honor the skier Picabo Street.

Yup, I've won a Peek Pronto! Posterous is giving away 5 and one of them is coming to me :) All I did was write this post on a sleepy Thursday night and I'm getting an early birthday present.

Man, this is probably the first time I'm actually winning something in my life. Wait, I did win the Supercars.net F1 Guessing Game 3 years in a row but then who'd give any prizes on a community forum? Oh and I did win a pair of Ray-Bans when I was about 7 for I-don't-know-what and so obviously never used. So this is pretty much a first.

Posterous made my day. I have more reason to love Posterous now. Not that I needed any, but this helps.

...hmmm... should I make this a rant about the lack of connectivity on my stupid-ass cell phone, with its seedy, tiny interface and the impractical, slow, touch-tone keypad?

Or should I make this an educated justification of how this device will increase my productivity with its simple, focused and functional delivery, opening up endless possibilities for my professional and personal life?

Aaah, screw it, I guess I'll just go with the same ol' stupid. So I need a Peek because, well, can you blame me for wanting to win something??

Not that that was funny. Gaaah! I need sleep.

p.s. - I really do need a Peek - I'm almost neurotic about being around my email a-hundred-and-fifty times a day. At least I won't have to lug my laptop into the shower. Oh and of course, Me + Peek = far more Posterous posts :)

Let me start by saying I personally don't need the Peek but my wife has been very slow to adopt new technology so this would be my gift to her. If this can't get her to the world of mobile email, nothing will! Check her out in her Kisuke hat!

I need a Peek because my life is filled with email. Email can be answered by leisure but it can also be fast, to the point, and can get things done in far less time than phoning someone and playing what is referred to as "phone tag." 

You should give me a Peek, Posterous. Let me rephrase. Please, give me a Peek, Posterous! I can Twitter about it, Facebook link it, blog about it, shout about it, email about it, and love it like it was my own little invention because it's the answer to my prayers. Because you, Posterous, make it so easy to link everything together, it would be a marvelous, marvelous thing. And that is no exaggeration.

This is to say that the Peek would be a significant contribution to my life and my life purpose, to get things done in an orderly and timely way. I need the Peek because I am constantly organizing events for my university's on-campus group for Gender Equality, my blog (http://pickledbeetnik.blogspot.com), for my job in the IT Department of my university, my job as a photographer and my job as a sort of art entrepreneur for my website (http://www.astronomotion.com) because they all involve email! Not to mention that I am a full-time student with an accounting major. Email is going to be, as it is now, extremely important in every day life.

As the New York Times perfectly summed up "Make way for another elegant one-trick pony: a pocket-size doodad called the Peek, which sends and receives e-mail. It arrives in Target stores (and getpeek.com) next week, whereupon it will follow the usual cycle of simple, elegant tech products: 1) universal scorn by feature-listers online; 2) quiet, gradual popular acceptance by normal people; 3) bafflement on the part of the feature-listers, who still don’t get that there are two kinds of people in the world." it makes everyone who is not technical and does not want added features that aren't up to par to want to go out and buy one. I hope to win it and blog about it, use Posterous to tell about it, Twitter about it, jump with joy with it, and rave about it's attributes.

The Peek does it get the job done. I use email with all of my blog entries, use email as the primary means of communication with my parents, despite the fact that they live an hour and a half away and use Skype regularly and also keep in contact with my extended family members overseas in South Africa, Australia, and the UK, and for the fun emails about pets dressed up as humans.

I urge you to give me one, Posterous. How else could you taunt me, one of your biggest advocates, besides not allowing me to have one and show it off to the world?
