Yes, this is a great phenomenon and I am very happy with their success. Thanks to crowd funding sites like kickstarter, now hardware startups will be able to get more publicity and promising market condition even before massive production. But the point I'm trying to make in my post is not that Pebble is a failure. Of course not, they are very successful and I have nothing against them. All I am saying is that Apple won't allow Pebble to access their proprietary services like Siri and others. And without perfect sync with iPhone Pebble cannot win this "battle". Of course, I'm assuming my prediction of Apple turning Nano to iWatch will happen. And if I am an iPhone user and have a choice of choosing between Pebble and iWatch, I would go with iWatch. Wouldn't you? My post was inspired by this Smart Watch craziness and my thoughts on what Smart Watch should do. I had no intention of belittling Pebble's accomplishment or impact that Kickstarter is having in Hardware startup atmosphere.
