Developers Rolling Out Pebble Smartwatch Apps

Posted by samzenpus on from the check-it-out dept.

itwbennett writes "When it first launched, the Pebble smartwatch was a nifty, if pricey, way to get notifications from your phone without having to go to the effort of pulling your phone out of your pocket. As previously posted on Slashdot, the real promise of the watch wouldn't be realized until developers got their hands on the SDK. Now, a few months after launch the apps are starting to roll in and Pebble wearer Kevin Purdy has rounded up some of the best apps and projects — and also where to find them."

    "$150 for a device that means I don't miss calls / txts when out because I didn't hear it go off / was listening to music at the time?"

    Except that it doesn't do this unless you use it in a way that enables those notifications...which you could simply do with the phone itself. The phone has a means of notifying silently already. You could also ignore the notifications from the watch thereby justifying the need for the next gadget that costs another $150.
