This is Pebble Time: Color e-paper and weeklong battery life
Kickstarter darling Pebble is back with a new, color, crowdfunded e-paper smartwatch. Meet Pebble Time, crowdfunding for $159.
Today Pebble has announced the latest addition to its line of e-paper smartwatches, Pebble Time. Pebble Time is a newly redesigned smartwatch — both outside and in — launching today on Kickstarter, where early birds can get in on the action for less than two bills.
Pebble Time features and always-on, color e-paper display that aims to have the same 5- to 7-day battery life of the original Pebble and Pebble Steel. Pebble Time has a stainless steel bezel, a scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass screen and is 20 percent thinner than the original Pebble. The strap features a new quick release, so you can swap out bands at will. Pebble even built in a “smart accessory port” so developers can build sensors and bands that interact directly with the watch.
“With Pebble Time, we’re launching completely new hardware and reimagined software while keeping all the things people love about Pebble.”
Pebble Time will also have a new version of the Pebble OS in tow, which will organize and display contextual information like weather, news, flights, and reminders chronologically on your watch. In addition to seeing current notifications, you’ll be able to read through previous notifications at any time. All current Pebble apps and watch faces will be compatible with Pebble Time as well.
Pebble Time is compatible with Android and iOS devices and is available now for $159 in three colors exclusively on Kickstarter. Shipping is set to begin in May of this year. After the campaign, Pebble Time will sell online and in stores for $199.

Introducing Pebble Time: The Watch That Knows You and Your Daily Routine
Pebble Returns to its Community Roots, Launches Pebble Time on Kickstarter
Palo Alto, CA (February 24, 2015) — Pebble Technology Corp., the smartwatch pioneer and a Kickstarter record holder, is proud to launch its brand new watch, Pebble Time, on the same community-driven platform that helped them introduce smartwatches to the entire world three years ago. Everything about Pebble Time — from its new technology to the reimagined software interface — was meticulously designed to mesh perfectly with your life. Starting today, anyone can back Pebble Time on Kickstarter at http://pbl.io/kickstarter.
New Hardware Enables More with Pebble Time Without Sacrificing Battery Life
Pebble Time features a revolutionary new color e-paper display that provides a stellar visual experience, always-on timekeeping and brilliant outdoor visibility. Compared with display technology like LCD or OLED, power consumption is minimized, enabling Pebble Time to achieve an industry-leading battery life of up to 7 days.
Pebble Time introduces a new microphone, allowing you to send voice replies to incoming notifications or compose short voice notes. Using the latest technology, water resistance is maintained, so you can swim, shower and surf with Pebble Time.
Pebble Time is 20% thinner than the original Pebble, with an ergonomic, curved design that’s comfortable on any wrist. The lens is crafted from scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass and the bezel is made of stainless steel. The watch band incorporates a quick-release mechanism, making it easier than ever to personalize your watch. Pebble Time also has a smart accessory port, enabling hardware developers to build sensors and smart straps that connect directly to the watch.
Like other Pebble watches, Pebble Time is designed to work perfectly with both iPhone and Android smartphones. Pebble Time is compatible with iPhone 4s and newer phones running the latest version of iOS 8. Pebble Time works with all Android 4.0+ phones including Samsung, HTC, Song, LG, Google, Motorola, Xiaomi and more.
New Timeline Interface Helps You Accomplish More Throughout The Day
Building a modern timepiece requires focus on software as much as hardware. Pebble Time introduces a new version of Pebble operating system (OS) that organizes relevant information like notifications, weather, news, travel, and reminders chronologically. With one click you can see what’s coming up next, such as a reminder to pick up your kids or when a movie starts. Pebble Time also helps when you need to catch up on things that happened in the past. You can scroll back to see an email you missed, your step count for the day, or the score from the game last night. Now, instead of opening an app just to see the weather, or to check the market, you can reliably get the details you need at a glance.
Pebble Time is fully compatible with all 6,500+ existing Pebble apps and watchfaces, surfaces information at the moment it’s most useful, and enables quick action. Pebble is working with The Weather Channel, ESPN, Jawbone, Evernote, Pandora and others to build unique experiences for the new OS and more partners will be announced soon. As with all Pebble software, Pebble Time is built on an open platform, and introduces many new APIs and tools for developers.
Staying Connected with Pebble’s Community
“Pebble was first brought to life by 69,000 backers and people who supported our vision three years ago. We could not think of a better way to share our new watch,” said Eric Migicovsky, Pebble CEO. “With Pebble Time, we’re launching completely new hardware and reimagined software while keeping all the things people love about Pebble.”
“With Pebble’s first Kickstarter campaign, they successfully introduced smartwatches to the world,” said Yancey Strickler, Kickstarter CEO. “We’re thrilled Pebble has come back to Kickstarter to share their latest innovation. As enthusiastic members of the Pebble community, all of us at Kickstarter are excited to help them again bring an exciting vision to life.”
Pebble Time is available in three colors for $159 exclusively on Kickstarter, with worldwide shipping to backers starting in May. Later this year, Pebble Time will retail for $199 and be available online at getpebble.com and in stores worldwide.

Say goodbye to bloatware, the Galaxy S6 will only have 2 Samsung App’s pre-installed
The Galaxy S6 is due to be officially revealed on March 1st at MWC in Barcelona, after a steady drip feed of leaks and rumours. The pressure is on Samsung to deliver, and deliver big this year after the Galaxy S5 failed to meet expectations in 2014, both in terms of sales and what the mainstream consumer wanted. This time round though, it seems that Samsung has indeed listened to what its fans want by producing the Galaxy S6 (and Edge) out of metal, optimising TouchWiz as well as toning down the bloatware. Yes, you heard it right, according to Sammobile, Samsung is apparently only pre-installing two of their own apps, along with the other apps in the list below.
List of pre-installed apps
- S Voice
- S Health
- WhatsApp (Download Link)
- Microsoft One Drive
- Microsoft one Note
- Skype
- Google App suite
- Galaxy Apps
As you can see from the list above, the bloatware has been significantly trimmed down, I can only really point an accusing finger at the S Voice and S Health apps. The rest of the missing ‘bloatware’ can be downloaded from the Galaxy Apps portal. Most of us tend to use Google’s suite of apps while Facebook, WhatsApp and Skype are quite popular, and probably installed on the majority of handsets anyway. I would be tempted to say that the Microsoft One Note and one Drive apps are bloatware as well, but that’s possibly because I’m not invested in Microsoft’s ecosystem. At least they’ll be confined to one single folder called ‘Microsoft Apps’.
Last, but not least, Samsung has apparently also updated the design of its essential apps (Music/Video/Gallery) to fit in better with Android Lollipop’s Material Design. If so, this is yet another complaint that Samsung can tick off. It almost seems like the Korean manufacturer has actually listened to its fans. If so, that might well be bad news for HTC, I guess we’ll all find out on March 1st when both HTC and Samsung will make their announcements.

Galaxy Tab S 2 specs revealed by benchmark
Samsung will launch the Galaxy Tab S 2 sometimes this year, possibly in the spring or summer. We already know that it will sport a metal build and the display will be more squarish as in a 4:3 ratio. There will also be two sizes, 9.7-inches and 8.0-inches. Probably the most important feature that we know is that it will be very thin, at 5.4 mm.
Today we have a little more confirmation on the rest of the specs thanks to a benchmark test on GFXBench.
You can expect the display to be Quad HD (2048 x 1536), and it will sport an octa-core Exynos big.LITTLE processor consisting of four Cortex-A57 cores and four Cortex-A53 cores, along with a hexa-core Mali-T760MP6 GPU. There will be 3 GB of RAM along with 32 GB of internal storage, and we presume more capacity options will be available. The rear camera is expected to be 8 MP, while the front-facer isn’t known yet. At this moment in time, the tablet is running Android 5.0.2, but that could change once 5.1 becomes more widely available.
Is the Galaxy Tab S 2 exciting anyone?
