Did we ever really need a phone on our wrists?
As soon as I held the Pebble Round 2 in my hand, I suddenly realized what I’d been missing for the better part of a decade. I’ve always felt smartwatches should supplement, rather than supplant, your phone, but that’s an attitude that feels almost quaint these days.
The situation cool down quite a bit after Pebble release 100% of their code which allows people to compile and run their own android app to talk with their pebbles. While there’s still some misgivings and bad blood between rebble community and pebble at least nobody is pressing charges and throwing public accusations anymore. That’s just my impression lurking in rebble discord server though.
