Pebble, the first mass-produced SmartWatch, now supports Android Apps Wear. Although this possibility was previously available in beta, but until now has been recognized as a fully stable.
As a result, users will be able to use Pebble notifications in the same manner in which they do so holders of watches from Andoirdem Wear. But that’s not all. In addition, the Pebble gain function, which do not have other gadgets running Google ubieralne. One of them is even the opportunity to respond to the notice by means of pre-made templates messages to each other.
These options provide application Pebble 2.3, which is available at Google Play. However, it is not sufficient to equip Pebble new opportunities. It will be necessary to install a device firmware version 2.0. In addition to supporting Android Wear, notifications and responses, Pebble decided to just fix some minor bugs.
But the new software update is the reason why you should buy Pebble?
Unfortunately, no. Watch, although much is cheaper since its launch, the world simply was old. His appearance smacks mouse and looks bad even compared to the cheapest Android watches Wear, such as LG G Watch. Moreover, the latter has a color screen, after all slightly greater opportunities and improved prospects for further updates. When we consider the cost of both devices of less than 500 zł, very soon you will find that the purchase does not make much sense.
The same situation is in the segment of the more expensive version of watches. True Pebble Steel version is in a class by itself, but in its price can buy another watch LG, namely beautiful model LG G Watch R, which also outperforms less reputable competitor in terms of opportunities, support and updates. Fans of this niche solutions will be disappointed, but it now looks like the market. Sorry.
You have to admit that the creators of Pebble do everything to not yield to the possibilities of competition.
In particular, this in the form of Android watches Wear. It is a fight against windmills, because in the long run, the first generation of Pebble watch has no chance against market giants. All the more gratifying that the creators of Pebble instead of focusing on creating a new device, develop the existing project, enriching your child about new opportunities. A lot of, much larger companies could learn from them.
Pebble Steel
I very much hope that the creators of Pebble not settle on the laurels and … soon create another watch, created based on the Android platform Wear. I am convinced that a recognizable brand in conjunction with a large corporation supported by the system would make the new Pebble could generate. Especially if your ingenuity Pebble workers moved to the ground to create applications that would be available on all devices with Google software and contribute to the development of the whole ecosystem of the company.
