Remember the other day we reported that the latest Pebble 2.1 update essentially bricked the smartwatch? The update basically turned the smartwatch into a regular watch as all it could do is tell the time and whenever the app was launched, it would crash. Thankfully Pebble has fixed the issue and has since released a newer update that should solve the problem.
Pebble has released version 2.1.1 of the update for its iOS app that should fix the issue with version 2.1. I don’t have the Pebble watch with me, so I cannot attest to whether or not the latest update has fixed the bug right away, but hopefully for the sake of Pebble users, it has.

The Anvil Problem
Posted in: Today's ChiliOver a decade ago I was a happy man. In about 2002 I bought an Archos Jukebox. It was 6GB monstrosity, clad in metal and full of huge batteries, and it contained a clicking, whirring 2.5-inch hard drive. I used it to listen to music and even hacked it to run a home-brew operating system complete with games and media controls. For a while I was quite content with my crazy MP3 player and, although… Read More

If there is one feature that we love about smartwatches is the ability to display information such as notifications and alerts whenever we receive a message, a call, an email, and so on. It saves us time from having to take our phones from our pockets or bags, and it also lets us know we have notifications for those times when the phone is on silent.
Well the good news is that if you’re a Pebble owner and you use BBM as one of your main apps for messaging friends, family, or co-workers, you might be interested to learn that your Pebble will be able to get BBM alerts thanks to a BlackBerry 10 app called Talk2Watch Pro. (more…)
