$20 a month is way too much, you can get much more for that price. This thing has no chance in hell unless they charge something like $4.95 a month.

If they offer a version of these that allows for web surfing, people whose workplaces ban personal email and surfing will go after these devices in droves.

Depending on how crucial the people with workplace restrictions feel it is for them to access personal email at will, they might well be drawn to an email-only device like this.

Not everyone wants a smartphone, PDA phone, iPhone, or even a CELL phone of any kind.

P.S. I wonder if this kind of device will be popular in the Deaf community? There's already a wide variety of text-capable devices to choose from. But if this is straightforward enough to use, it might attract interest from members of the Deaf community that don't feel the need for a feature-rich device.
