Core Devices is launching a PebbleOS beta, says the new smartphone app will work with old Pebble watches

Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky is bringing back the iconic smartwatch… kind of. Earlier this year he introduced a new company called Core Devices that’s working on two new watches running an open source version of PebbleOS. And now he says the first units are almost ready to ship to beta testers.

As part of that announcements, Migicovsky is seeking beta testers for the Core 2 Duo […]

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 Sony […]

Why so sad techbro? Tariffs getting you low?

"Man, I think I picked a really difficult time to get back into manufacturing hardware."

(Eric is actually my favourite techbro, but it's kind of a low bar. And now he has a podcast. Which he daftly titled "Tick Talk", despite there already existing a product in his market space, the "TickTalk" kids smartwatch... CDO probably already being written...)

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, […]

"As you may have heard, last week Google published the source code for PebbleOS. This is a big deal! ... Now we’re hard at work on hardware and software development.

... Please don’t get your hopes up that the new watch will have X/Y/Z new feature. It’s going to be a Pebble and almost exactly as you remember it, except now with open source software that can you can modify and improve yourself."

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.

But the future of these chips has been in doubt for some time. The Oryon CPU cores at the heart […]

Pebble rises from the grave: Google open sources PebbleOS and a the founder of Pebble is making a new watch

Google has a reputation for killing products. RIP Google Reader, Google Podcasts, Google Cardboard, and hundreds of other devices, apps, and services.

But in a surprising turn of events, a long-dead project is rising from the Google Graveyard. Google has open sourced (most of) the operating system that powered the Pebble smartwatch and Pebble founder Eric Migicosvky says he plans to launch a […]

I am gobsmacked by the unexpected good news just shared by @rebble: Google released the #PebbleOS code as #FreeSoftware (Apache license), #Rebble obtained the source code for Snowy, #EricMigicovsky is planning to produce a new #PebbleWatch, and the Rebble team is planning another #Hackathon. Just wow. Thank you, @ishotjr, @Katharine (and all others not easily reachable via the fediverse).

@Reed newsletter on #Apple #antitrust "issues":

»The documents showed that #Apple’s lawsuit was years in the making, part of a masterful plan to target #Qualcomm and thus reduce their $7 per #iPhone fee. Apple’s executives openly discussed how Qualcomm’s technology was the best in the business and impossible to replicate. […]
Those documents were my first peek behind the Cupertino curtain and they were telling.«
