Dumb question maybe but why not bring this to other pebbles? There's a mic and you have a network connection via smartphone.

- fnordo 10y agoMy first guess would be that it was just easier to right it directly for the Core as it's running Android.
- erohead 10y agoAlexa only has an audio output at this time. We'd love to bring Alexa to all Pebble watches! Tell amazon to add the api :)
- ewindisch 10y agoThe API doesn't provide access to cards? Anyway, even if it didn't, the watch could still just display a speaker/microphone image and a graphic indicating audio playback. Honestly, this is my personal hold-up on buying a smart watch. I'm pretty set on getting one with Alexa built-in.
- adyus 10y agoWould you not be able to proxy that audio through Nuance and display text on the Pebbble screen?
- untog 10y agoCore runs Android, while Pebble watches don't. That said, it would be a great partnership for Amazon to connect with the Pebble app on people's smartphones to allow for this. As another poster has suggested, Amazon could even buy Pebble at some point. While as a Pebble owner I'd be sad to see them lose their independence, some solid financial backing wouldn't be a bad thing.
- vvanders 10y agoAh ha, that's the context I was missing.
