Peble is back, baby. On Monday, Google (owning PEBBLE IP via Fitbit Purchase) opened the OG Modern SmartWatch software. Everyone opens the way to create a new Penben -style wearable (or old model custom firmware), but one famous person has already raised his hand: the Penber creator Eric MigiCovsky.
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.
The founder of Pebble, who ran a beeper (IMESAGE in the iMessage of an Android app that caused the short -lived war with Apple), hopes that his planned smartwatch is a modern pebble take. I wrote it on his blog. It does not try to reconsider the wheels. “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.”
Kickstarter
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.”
Developers can get the open source of Google open source on GitHub. If you are interested in Migicovsky’s 2013 smartwatch spiritual successor, you can sign up to the latest information on the web page.
