Engadget - Pebble released an SDK update today which lets developers create apps that support two-way communication via Bluetooth. While the new software (called PebbleKit) was hinted at before, it represents a major step forward for the platform by allowing third-party developers to send / receive information between the smartwatch and a smartphone.
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.
