That's what I thought, an upgraded and packaged version of Photon & Electron[1].

But Pebble needs to get serious about openness if they want this thing to catch on. There are already dozens of companies trying this on Ali-Express, Indie-Gogo, Kickstarter, etc.

It is not enough to be "developer friendly", they need an API that gives open access to all the hardware, including Bluetooth, WiFi and GPS controllers. They promised an Bluetooth LE API on Pebble for the end of 2015 and we have nothing so far.

Core runs Android 5.0 AOSP, will be easy to root and has an unlocked SIM. Pretty open, lots more to come!


This is just fantastic! Now I do want one, can't live without it!

Thank you Eric!
