Engadget - Pebble has just informed backers that the very first orders will begin shipping today, though the iOS app is still pending approval from Apple. In the meantime, Android users will have access to a compatible app in Google Play beginning tomorrow -- just in time to start using those freshly unboxed smartwatches. iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users will be able to display notifications and control music in the meantime, though advanced features like watchface and OS updates won't be possible until the app is ready for download.
At the end of June, Fitbit plans to end support on the Pebble cloud services. If you own a discontinued Pebble watch, this means you’ll no longer be able to use the app store, reply to an email, or SMS messages from your wrist. Luckily, help may soon be on the way thanks to Rebble.
Following Fitbit’s acquisition of smartwatch maker Pebble, it seems obvious that Fitbit is considering a deeper dive into the smartwatch market.
Engadget editors have strong feelings about the pioneering smartwatch maker.
