Hi Mr. Performance.

Just wanted to let you know that in a roundabout way, you made it onto techcrunch:

Hey there!

In our lab, charging from totally empty to totally full takes 100 minutes even.

Of course, that’s if you let it run all the way down.

Hey there — we didn’t notice a mail delay on Thursday late evening or Friday early AM. Did you see whether the mails came into your mailbox too? We can double check the timestamps in the system for you to see what kind of delays there were.

Seems a great idea…why not provide a map of where Peek works. Forget the browser as we just need email capability BUT we need to be able to open Attachments sent in Word and Excel or PDF…do this, provide good and quick service, keep it under $20 per month and you have a winner.

Hello there!

Here’s the deal on delivery times:
- Gmail, Hotmail, AOL and most POP services you should see between 5-10 minutes. This has to do with how often they let us sync (which is usually around 5 minutes).
- Yahoo is in the 15-20 minutes range for another few weeks because we can’t check very often at all.
- IF YOUR PEEK IS SLEEPING (like you haven’t touched in an hour or two, it is in power-saving mode…) then add 20 minutes to all this. We try not to wake up the Peek and chew up power in the middle of the night etc. We did this so we could have the normal user get 4-5 days and the heavy user (like me) get 2-3 days.

But here is something important: no matter how popular we get, the delivery times will only shorten. In the next 3-4 weeks we are going to be cutting 3-4 minutes off the Aol/Gmail/Hotmail delivery times and a huge 10-15 minutes off the Yahoo…. So things should be speeding up if anything!

Is this a reasonable approach? Too fast? Too slow?
