The firmware for 4.0 just hit. Biggest change is the app menu being a list of four apps at once rather than just one app per screen. Also apps can have "glances" or a little bit of information below them in the menu (for example now settings shows battery life without having to open the app). Also instead of going tomoast events in timeline, pressing up just goes to the Health app (which has gotten a fancy new UI). I think you can also assign app shortcuts to all four buttons instead of just up and down. And something about letting iOS fiddle with emails now, but it's a preview feature so no clue how much you can do with it.

A real shame, as I think the Pebble is a really good "baby's first smartwatch" that lets you see if it's the kind of thing you want before throwing hundreds into an Apple or Android watch. For some, a notifications device with some basic fitness tracking and other small frills is all you really want, and Pebble can get you that for under $100. Personally, I returned my Time 1 after just a few weeks because I wanted more functionality. Their app store is a real sad sight these days, as I found that numerous apps on old recommendation lists had long been dropped. Even worse are the scores of "free" apps that required a paid third-party app on your phone, complete with tons of one-star reviews saying they were scams. Wasn't going to spend a buck rolling the dice on poo poo like that.

Bobalbmi posted:I sorta feel bad for the smart strap developers who just had all of their work thrown into the garbage. I actually kickstarted these guys (http://www.pagare.me/) wonder if I'll see a refund? Also probably suggesting that the Pebble app store will be shuttering at some point, so no updates for watch apps.

Blue Train posted:Yea no refunds or warranty support. Owned I can see cancelling future production, but not being able to fulfill backer pledges seem like run-of-the-mill Kickstarter fuckery as opposed to being forced to end the project because there's no future.

They'll probably do well if they release an affordable smart watch with basic functionality on top of Fitbit's usual stuff. If they are trying to make a $250+ watch to compete with Apple or Android then uh good luck with that.

Probably lcd or something, unless there's been huge developments in eink displays. Could also be concept art. So who knows for sure
