Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A US company which makes mobile devices is offering a gadget solely dedicated to sending and receiving Twitter messages.
The "TwitterPeek", made by New York-based Peek, costs 100 dollars with six months of service or 200 dollars for a lifetime service plan.
Peek, which also makes mobile devices strictly for e-mail or text messaging, called the TwitterPeek "the world's first dedicated Twitter mobile device."
"Because TwitterPeek is designed for Twitter, it provides a tweeting experience superior to any website or smartphone application," it said.
The device resembles a Blackberry smartphone with a full-color screen for viewing messages and a keyboard for typing them.
Twitter, which allows users to pepper one another with 140-character-or-less messages known as "tweets," has grown rapidly in popularity since it was launched in August 2006 and claims to have topped 50 million users.
