Peble is back, baby. On Monday, Google (owns PEBBLE IP via Fitbit Purchase) Open source OG Modern SmartWatch software. It opens a way to create a new Penbe -style wearable (or custom firmware for old models), but one famous person has already raised his hand: the Penber creator Eric Migikovsky.
Google says that open source Pebbleos contains most software source code. The only exception is the unique code of chipset and Bluetooth software. Google’s Matthieu Jeanson, Katharine Berry, and Liam MCLOUGHLIN wrote that they are facing a “trivial work” when finding a substitute for a part of the code. Migicovsky says that it spurred the project by asking Google friends whether to open software open source.
PEBBLE founder who ran Beeper (IMESAGE in Android app that caused a short -lived war with Apple) I wrote In his blog, he wants his planned smartwatch wants to show his original Pebble modernly. “No one will make a smart watch with a series of functions I want,” he wrote. “I really wanted to come with someone else, really, really, someone else came together and made a substitute for pebbles, but no one has it.”
His wish list, which is not yet known, includes on the on -the -world electronic paper screen, long battery life, “simple and beautiful user experience”, physical buttons, hacking possibilities (such as custom watch faces). Masu. These are certainly innovative and attractive Peble features, destroying Kickstarter Records and ahead of Apple, Samsung, and Google models a few years ago.
“The new watch we are building basically has the same specifications and functions as Pebble, but there are also fun new ones,” said the founder of Pebble, and his team is still a product. I added that it was necessary to identify the accurate specifications and the timeline. “Pebbleos of open source is executed and is compatible with all Pebble apps and Watches.”
