Reply to comment by 444455550000 in TIL about the TwitterPeek, a Twitter-only mobile device introduced in 2009 that allowed users to send and receive tweets...and nothing else by wilymon

The G1, the first Android phone, was out in 2008, as was the iOS App Store. The people who wanted to buy a Tweeting device (and didn’t want to text 40404) would just buy a smartphone

Yep. The average person would have just a smartphone. No need to buy another device. My job (like other jobs) required me to have multiple devices. Same deal, no need for another device. I could tweet from my phone.
