Pebble

PebblePebble started shipping its new Pebble Steel hardware last week, but until Monday, the version of the companion app available to the general public didn’t contain any of the version 2.0 goodness that granted access to the Pebble appstore. The new appstore is being billed as the “first open platform for sharing apps optimized for wearables” by Pebble, and as of Monday, it’s available to the general Pebble-wearing public, so long as you’ve got an iOS device. The Pebble appstore works with any Pebble running OS version 2.0, which you’ll be prompted to install on your device when you download and install the updated Pebble app. You’ll also get a completely new interface for managing your Pebble and the new apps you can install on it from within the software.
