The funny thing is that when I saw the phrase "pebble watch for iOS", I totally thought it was a silly video game that lets you virtually watch pebble bouncing off a lake based on how you throw the rock using the built-in accelerometer. The biggest winner goes to the person actually throws the phone out the window..

Yeah, I knew what pebble watch was and its 4 million startup fund etc... and didn't know it has problem with iOS in the first place (because the promo video seems to imply that it works natively with iOS).

Something that just dawned on me after re-reading the Pebble's specs:

In addition to only supporting SMS on Androids and not on iOS, the supported email services are Gmail or any IMAP enabled service. That would be fine for my university email inbox, but a problem for my primary Live email account. (which is funny as my university email is Live@edu)

The Pebble team could code in connectors to interface with Live accounts via DeltaSync or equivalent, but I would prefer the Pebble app to piggyback off the stock mail app on their respective platforms. Probably possible for Android, but not iOS. Or we can have an app like Sparrow that can interface with the Pebble...

You can hook in your Live in as an IMAP account..so no worries there...might just have to tweak your settings.

Well that's the problem. Hotmail has no IMAP support. I believe that was made clear in Neowin's interview with Hotmail team members.

I suppose the next possible solution, which would work very well, is to build in a mini Exchange ActiveSync client into the Pebble app. Then Pebble can send both email notifications and calendar reminders!

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 changelog: Uses electron 42.5.0 #2452 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.6.
