The Pebble watch is making a comeback now, in 2025. It’s an improbable turn of events after the Kickstarter-launched watch company created by Eric Migicovsky was eaten up in a tech turducken, acquired by Fitbit, followed by Fitbit getting acquired by Google.
Ehh, I think I’ll pass.
Edit: I should’ve read the entire article, and not stopped after seeing “Google.”
Read a bit further
Migicovsky, Pebble’s founder, is starting a new company focused on gadgets like the Pebble. He’s starting with a single new Pebble model that will run the old OS and be hackable for new apps and ideas.
Ha, that’s what I get for not finishing the article 🤦🏻♂️
Didn’t he sell out to fitbit and all the pebble employees lost their jobs?
The company was insolvent, when it was taken over by Fitbit. That’s not selling out.
Am I missing something? They create a company that creates a watch with a FLOSS operating system? How is that bad? What?
Right, that’s my point as well
Ah, sorry I thought yours is a reply to the other reply. Somehow the indention messed with me. Sorry! 😁
No worries! Happens to the best of us.
I mean is Google involved beyond open sourcing the OS?
