My Pebble came last week - Hooked it up last night
« on: February 20, 2013, 10:57:34 am »
It's pretty sleek, quite large and enjoyable mostly while wearing.  The music control feature was one of the big buying points for me and it works as expected.  I love being able to leave my phone in my pocket and to switch songs.  I am however perturbed at how notifications within iPhone are quite messy.  Some work, some don't and they don't work at all with iOS5.  I was really hoping to not go to iOS 6 for a while longer because of their maps fiasco.  All in all I'd give it a 7/10 until they get notifications working for all applications with iPhone without jailbreaking.

If you have any questions about it feel free to hit me up.

I don't know much about it.  Does it work independently of your iphone/touch or do you need to hvae it within bluetooth range?

I had a Timex Sinclair in the 90's.  It was pretty cool but support for it dropped pretty quickly.

Bluetooth range.  It's basically a display interface for your iPhone/Android device but it also can control stuff like music, etc.

Maps fiasco is water under the bridge, google maps is now available as a standalone app. Upgrayd.
