The pebble is a smart watch that wirelessly connects via Bluetooth to an iPhone or Android smartphone and uses smartphone apps.It's the only smart watch that does so.
The pebble has various applications that allow users to access information or control devices from their wrist.
Besides checking calls, emails, text messaging or social media updates, the smart watch has potentially unlimited applications.
Migicovsky will release an open software development kit for it's pebble technology, which will allow developers to design watch apps similar to what Apple did with its iPhone developer kit.
Current pebble applications include a music control app; a fitness tracker app that monitor stats related to cycling or jogging;a golfing range finder for 25,000 golf courses; and a sensor app that connects with a device you attach to thinks you want to communicate with.
migicovsky developed his prototype from cellphone parts but we used a high resolution, customizable e-paper display, which is a technology that allows the face to be read in direct sunshine or use back lighting when reading in the dark.
Battery life is 7 days and is USB rechargeable. It's a water resistant, vibrates and will be available in red, black or white.It will sell for $125.
