Eric Migicovsky, leader of the revived Pebble, is making smartwatches for himself. You’re just along for the ride.
“Apple makes it incredibly difficult for third-party devices to interact with things like iMessage or Siri or any of the built-in features on iOS,” Migicovsky told Gizmodo in a freewheeling video interview. “And that sucks. That sucks for competition. That sucks for innovation. That sucks for price.”
If you don’t get it, it’s not for you.
I on the other hand, have a pre order for the round and can’t wait for it to arrive.
The point of the pebble is that it’s a watch first, as in you can tell the time on it and all the other stuff is second. The new pebbles are all open source, from the board to the app and everything in-between.
