Straight from their information page, also they do not make them at all yet, the Kickstarter states that they will start shipping in September however, currently there are only Demo models.

Compatibility

  • iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S running iOS 5 or any iPod Touch with iOS 5.
  • Android devices running OS 2.3 and up. Works great with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)!

Unfortunately Pebble does not work with Blackberry, Windows Phone 7, or Palm phones at this time.

Ok thanks I thought it was only Android. What about the iPad ? I wonder if it works with that device sense it is the same OS ?

i assume it would work with the iPad however, it would be kinda stupid as you would be required to be within 30ft of your ipad at all times just to use the watch.

The watch works by connecting via Bluetooth to a phone with an app on it which then sends weather/txt message alerts and other information to the watch. the watch CANNOT function without the use of a connected phone. with the applications.

For those that do not know what it is here you go

that is so cool, thanks for the link, I just pledged :)

Not being a dick, but that's how some people will see it.

It's running an e-paper screen (which could have been a retina screen, but being cost effective, they had to do it), it's constant 24hr Blue tooth, with a vibrating motor, memory, and an accelerometer. How much more do you want it to run?

Truthfully, I agree there should be research into better batteries, that's the only other project I think I'll back fund.

Take "me" out of the equation as I'm simply playing devils advocate...

I want it to run as much as a watch.

I think 7 days is actually very good...look at the kindle...1 month battery say the specs, but it doesn't have always on features like bluetooth and only updates when you turn a page (maybe 100-150 a day for an intense book reader)...the pebble update every single min thats 1440 a day...arround 10x as intense usage + bluetooth...I'm surprised it even lasts 7 days when the battery and everything else fits on your wrist!

    • I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.
    • This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
