Well, the sad news was announced 10 days ago today. There had been rumors before that about what was happening and it was true. Fitbit was acquiring Pebble. Unfortunately not Pebble Inc but just the trademark and the technology. From the point of view of Fitbit I understand, they need a good operating system and it was cheaper to buy a finished one. Pebble Inc was in bad economic state and it would not have been that god deal to acquire Pebble Inc, cheaper to just let it default.
Smartklockan Pebble är en av många kickstarter-projekt som jag såg när de höll på men glömde bort att involvera mig i. Det var inte förrän i slutat av maj månad förra året som jag blev påmind av Pebble när jag såg den på armen på en som jag känner. Vi spenderade ett bra tag och pratade om den och testade och visade saker, runt en timma senare så hade jag beställt en egen.
It was a full year since I wrote something here last time, then it was my then failed laptop journey. Since then things has happened, I have for example bought a new Laptop, watch, computer monitor and my car that I mentioned here did finally arrive.
