Pebble, a trailblazer in the world of smartwatches, has reemerged after years of being out of the spotlight. Previously purchased by Fitbit, the Pebble brand and its operating system have now been open sourced by Google. This move has sparked excitement among fans of the brand, as the founder, Eric Migicovsky, plans to create new smartwatches powered by the revived PebbleOS.
Eric Migicovsky, known for his work on the Beeper app and unsuccessful attempts to bring iMessage to Android, is now focusing on relaunching Pebble. Recognizing the importance of software in a smartwatch, Migicovsky sees potential in revitalizing Pebble with the newly open sourced operating system.
With plans to assemble a team and develop new hardware, Pebble enthusiasts may soon have the opportunity to purchase and wear a new Pebble smartwatch. Follow the progress of this exciting project at repebble.com.
