Just a week after source code was released, Pebble OS is already up and running on new hardware as efforts are under way for new devices.

    The Pebble platform doesn’t make it super easy to monetize itself beyond hardware sales. There’s no reason to make a watch like this from a business perspective. Plenty probably could, but no one with the resources to do it properly wanted to make something similar.

        Hobbyists do lots of stuff that companies won’t.

          It’s not a hobby, he’s going to sell them.

            He’ll make tens, if not dozens, of dollars.

      Well, if you’re not more greed than man, hardware sales might be enough for you.
