If FitBit wants current Pebble users to be their future customers, they should definitely consider not making current Pebble devices useless.
I understand this is not a trivial task, but it looks like FitBit mostly acquired Pebble's software engineers. So it would nice to see a new FitBit flavored OS update for Pebbles. The hardware is there, it just needs the software support. Pebble hardware with FitBit health/fitness services would a be great combo.
- wvenable 10y agoFitbit didn't buy Pebble; they don't own any of the services and they certainly cannot update the firmware for devices that belong to a different company. They just bought the software and maybe hired a few engineers (although I imagine a lot of jumped ship; I know at least one is going to Intel instead). Pebble will survive on the ingenuity of the community, not support of any company. Assuming anyone takes up the task.
