Title: 2013-06-11 Mobile Summit 2013: In Smart Watch Category, Pebble Still Awaits..... Post by: cescan on June 18, 2013, 10:10:55 AM http://www.technologyreview.com/view/515946/mobile-summit-2013-in-smart-watch-category-pebble-still-awaits-the-big-competition/
More practically, there have been more than 600 apps created so far for Pebble, and Migicovsky showed off a few in his talk. Many relate to fitness and health, or sending notifications to the watch. Some seem niche—there’s an app that checks the latest trading prices for Bitcoin, and someone else has rigged Pebble to let him know when his food is done in the microwave. But many functions indeed seem useful, such as calendar and weather notifications. Migicovsky even showed me some simple games that can be played on Pebble with its side buttons. He hopes one day he’ll be able to open his front door with Pebble. |
