This was an awesome idea -- terrible execution. I was one of the original Kickstarter backers. It took YEARS for them to, in a slightly more than half-assed way, support iOS. They claimed support from day 1, but blamed Apple for it not working (although it wasn't Apple that claimed it was working in the first place). The hardware it self was even worse. I've gotten two replacements -- after a while the "ePaper" display just stops working. The case itself disintegrated after a couple of years, apparently not designed to be used. I love the concept of the Pebble -- it's more of a VPN to a Smartphone than trying to duplicate the Smartphone, but I won't miss it, it nothing but a piling heap of goat excrement.
In 2000, IBM filed patent 6329919 "System and method for providing reservations for restroom use". Specifically, it was some thingamadingy for restrooms on planes. For whatever reason, they later decided to renounce all claims. Wonder how many people over at IBM have PhDs in waiting.
