Pebble Round 2 smartwatch ships in May, available for pre-order now for $199 Last year Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky announced that he was bringing back Pebble smartwatches.

Now Core Devices is ready for Round 2. Literally. The Pebble Round 2 is available for pre-order today for $199…

Pebble Index 01 is a ring with a microphone, Bluetooth, and not much else Almost a year ago I hopped on a video call with Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky who was excited to tell me about a few things he was working on, but which I couldn't report about at the time. One was that he was bringing Pebble back from the dead. And his new company, Core Devices, has followed through on that…

Throwing stones at Pebble: Rebble accuses Core Devices of stealing its work for new Pebble smartwatch services The Pebble line of smartwatches is back. But in some ways it never really went away... because after Fitbit acquired Pebble in 2016 and stopped making Pebble-branded hardware, an independent team of developers got to work creating an open source software ecosystem that allowed existing watches to continue functioning. For the past decade, the Rebble project has maintained an app store and other web services.

Pebble Time 2 specs and design finalized ahead of the $225 smartwatch’s launch The Pebble Time 2 is a smartwatch that some folks have been waiting nearly a decade for. And now it's almost ready to start shipping. While the original company called Pebble shut down in 2016, founder Eric Migicovsky introduced a new company called Core Devices earlier this year, and announced that the first two devices would be smartwatches that pick up where the originals left off.

Pebble is really back: New Pebble-branded smartwatches are on the way Earlier this year Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky announced that he was bringing Pebble back from the dead by launching a new company called Core Devices that would start by making two new PebbleOS smartwatches. But while the watches would look a lot like classic Pebble devices, at the time there was one thing Migicovsky couldn't legally do: use the Pebble brand.

Lilbits: 3rd-party SteamOS devices, the new Pebble 2 smartwatch processor, and Sony is still making flagship phones with headphone jacks Most modern smartphones have big screens, fast processors, and excellent cameras. One thing they don't usually have? Headphone jacks. That's a feature that's still common on budget phones and some mid-range models, but most premium phone makers have gone all-in on wireless audio (or USB-C dongles). Sony's latest flagship bucks the trend. Not only does it have a headphone jack, but the…

Two new PebbleOS smartwatches go up for pre-order for the first time in nearly a decade Pebble was an early innovator in the smartwatch space, but the company struggled to compete when bigger companies like Apple, Google, and many of the companies partnering with Google entered the space. So Pebble sold it assets to Fitbit in 2016 and basically shut down. But Pebble's watches still have a small but loyal fanbase thanks to their simple but useful features, affordable price tags, sunlight readable displays, and other features.

Lilbits: Open Source PebbleOS progress and ARM doesn’t plan to terminate Qualcomm’s license agreement (for now) Windows laptops powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon X chips began to hit the streets in 2024 and while they might not live up to all the promises from Qualcomm, Microsoft, and PC makers, they are the first ARM-powered Windows PCs with processors fast enough to rival chips from Intel, AMD, and Apple.
