Eric Migicovsky, leader of the revived Pebble, is making smartwatches for himself. You’re just along for the ride.
“Apple makes it incredibly difficult for third-party devices to interact with things like iMessage or Siri or any of the built-in features on iOS,” Migicovsky told Gizmodo in a freewheeling video interview. “And that sucks. That sucks for competition. That sucks for innovation. That sucks for price.”
Were? You do know they’re back, right? Due to historic reasons, they are now fully open source (app, firmware included).
Am glad they are back, crazy how one tech company managed to get watches smart, rather than making phones that fit on your wrist and act as shitty watches
