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!

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
