- dmurray 7y agoThey "began to die" years ago and had shrunk to less than 10% of their post-IPO valuation. Not that I expect Google to be very price sensitive about this kind of deal.
- solarkraft 7y agoHave they every supported it? My experience with them has been pretty bad. Software is closed, no replacement parts, fewer features than marketed ("It has a microphone" -> you can never get that data, only the text from their TTS service) ... Luckily the software part is changing with Rebble. But I don't see how anything will change for customers.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoTo be fair to Fitbit, they left the Pebble servers up for something like an extra year at the request of Rebble's developers, who said they needed more time. They also recently helped get the Pebble app back in the iOS App Store after it was delisted a few months ago for some reason. That was pretty critical given the nature of iOS. Pebble was reportedly more or less about to run out of cash on their own, so against that alternative I'd say Fitbit has been decently helpful.
