U-Michal Ždanský Eminyakeni emithathu edlule, ithimba elincane, elingaziwa eliholwa unjiniyela u-Eric Migicovsky lethule umkhankaso we-Kickstarter obabazekayo wokusiza ukudala ama-smartwatches ama-iPhones namafoni e-Android. Iphrojekthi ethembisayo, eyanquma ubuncane bezimali ezidingekayo ukuze kuxhaswe ngezimali ngempumelelo ngamadola ayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amahlanu, yaba enye yezinto ezinkulu kakhulu ze-Kickstarter futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo iphrojekthi ephumelela kakhulu yale sevisi ngaleso sikhathi.
Iqembu likwazile ukuqongelela amadola angaphezu kwezigidi eziyishumi futhi umkhiqizo walo, iwashi lePebble, libe iwashi elihlakaniphile eliphumelela kakhulu emakethe kuze kube manje. Ngaphansi kweminyaka emithathu kamuva, namuhla ithimba elinamalungu angu-130 ligubhe ukuthengiswa kwengxenye yesigidi futhi lakwazi ukuqhamuka nokwehluka okunethezeka kokwakhiwa kwepulasitiki kwasekuqaleni okubizwa ngePebble Steel. Iqembu labashisekeli bezobuchwepheshe alikwazanga nje kuphela ukuletha iwashi elihlakaniphile eliphumelelayo emakethe, kodwa futhi likwazile ukudala i-ecosystem yesofthiwe enempilo ebala izinkulungwane zezinhlelo zokusebenza nobuso bewashi.
Kodwa uPebble manje usebhekene nomncintiswano omusha. Nakuba eminyakeni emithathu edlule bekunamawashi ambalwa kuphela ahlakaniphile, nenkampani enkulu kunazo zonke phakathi kwabahlanganyeli i-Sony yaseJapane, namuhla i-Apple ne-Apple Watch yayo iyinyanga kusukela ekuqaleni kwayo, futhi amadivaysi athakazelisayo epulatifomu ye-Android Wear nawo agcwele izikhukhula. imakethe. Itshe elincane lingena engxabanweni ngomkhiqizo omusha - Isikhathi sePebble.
Ngokuya nge-hardware, i-Time iwukuziphendukela kwemvelo okuphawulekayo kusuka kokubili inguqulo yokuqala ye-Pebble kanye nokuhluka kwayo kwensimbi. Iwashi linesimo esiyisikwele esinamakhona ayindilinga futhi licishe lifane netshe elincane, okususelwa kulo igama lalo. Iphrofayili yabo igobile kancane, ngakho-ke bakopisha kangcono ukuma kwesandla. Ngokufanayo, iwashi liyakhanya futhi lincane. Abadali bahlala nomqondo ofanayo wokulawula, esikhundleni sesikrini sokuthinta, kukhona izinkinobho ezine kwesokunxele nakwesokudla njengesistimu eyodwa yokusebenzisana.
Isici esivelele sewashi isibonisi salo, lesi sikhathi esinombala, sisebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obufanayo be-LCD obuguqukayo. Isibonisi esihle uma kuqhathaniswa singabonisa imibala efika ku-64, okungukuthi, efana nombala we-GameBoy, futhi singabonisa nokugqwayiza okuyinkimbinkimbi, abadali abangazange bakugwebe.
Phakathi kwezinye izinto, abanye onjiniyela besoftware bangaphambili abavela ePalm ababambe iqhaza ekuthuthukisweni kweWebOS bajoyine ithimba lePebble ngonyaka odlule. Kodwa ukugqwayiza okudlalayo akukona ukuphela kwento ehlukile ye-firmware entsha. Abadali balahle wonke umqondo wokulawula futhi babiza isixhumi esibonakalayo esisha somugqa wesikhathi wesofthiwe.
Kumugqa wesikhathi, i-Pebble ihlukanisa izaziso, izehlakalo nolunye ulwazi lube izingxenye ezintathu - okwedlule, okwamanje kanye nekusasa, inkinobho ngayinye yezinhlangothi ezintathu ihambelana ngqo neyodwa yalezi zigaba. Okwedlule kuzobonisa, isibonelo, izaziso eziphuthelwe noma izinyathelo ezigejiwe (i-pedometer iyingxenye ye-Pebble) noma imiphumela yomdlalo webhola wayizolo. Isipho sizobonisa ukudlalwa komculo, isimo sezulu, ulwazi lwesitoko kanye nesikhathi samanje. Esikhathini esizayo, uzothola, isibonelo, izenzakalo ezivela ekhalendeni. Le sistimu ngokwengxenye ikhumbuza i-Google Now, ungavele uskrole olwazini, nakuba ungeke ulindele ukuhlunga okuhlakaniphile njengesevisi ye-Google.
Uhlelo lokusebenza ngalunye, noma lufakwe ngaphambilini noma lwezinkampani zangaphandle, lungafaka olwalo ulwazi kulo mugqa wesikhathi. Akukhona lokho kuphela, uhlelo lokusebenza akumele lufakwe ewashini, amathuluzi alula wewebhu azotholakala lapho kuzokwaziwa khona ukuthola imininingwane ewashini nge-Intanethi kuphela. Okunye kuzonakekelwa uhlelo lwe-Pebble ku-inthanethi kanye ne-Bluetooth 4.0, lapho ifoni ixhumana newashi futhi idlulisa idatha.
Phela, abadali sebevele bangene ebudlelwaneni ne-Jawbone, ESPN, Pandora kanye ne-The Weather Channel ukuze bafake ulwazi ewashini ngale ndlela. Umgomo wethimba le-Pebble ukudala i-ecosystem enkulu lapho kungangeni khona izinsizakalo kuphela, kodwa nezinye i-hardware, njengamasongo okuqina, amadivaysi ezokwelapha kanye "ne-inthanethi yezinto" ngokujwayelekile.
Lena enye yezindlela u-Eric Migicovsky nethimba lakhe abafuna ukubhekana ngayo nezinkampani ezinkulu ezingena emakethe yamawashi ahlakaniphile. Okunye okukhanga abasebenzisi kuzoba ukubekezela kweviki ngokukhokhiswa okukodwa, ukufundeka okuhle kakhulu elangeni nokumelana namanzi. I-icing ekhekheni elicatshangelwayo imakrofoni ehlanganisiwe, okuyinto, isibonelo, ikuvumela ukuthi uphendule imilayezo etholiwe ngezwi noma udale amanothi ezwi.
I-Pebble Time izofika ngoMeyi, inyanga ngemva kokukhishwa kwe-Apple Watch, futhi izofinyelela amakhasimende okuqala ngendlela efanayo nangesikhathi eqala ngaso. Ngomkhankaso we-Kickstarter.
Ngokusho kukaMigicovsky, inkampani ayisebenzisi i-Kickstarter kakhulu ukuxhasa ukukhiqizwa njengethuluzi lokumaketha, ngenxa yokuthi bangakwazi ukwazisa abantu abanentshisekelo kalula ngezibuyekezo ezintsha. Noma kunjalo, i-Pebble Time inamandla okuba iphrojekthi yeseva ephumelela kakhulu eyake yaba khona. Bafinyelele umkhawulo wabo omncane wokuthola imali wamadola ayingxenye yesigidi ngemizuzu eyi-17 emangalisayo, futhi ngemva kosuku olulodwa nengxenye, inani elifinyelelwe selingaphezu kwezigidi eziyishumi.
Labo abanentshisekelo bangathola Isikhathi sePebble kunoma yimuphi umbala ngo-$179 (okuhlukile kuka-$159 sekuthengisiwe), bese iPebble izovela ekuthengisweni kwamahhala nge-$XNUMX ngaphezulu. Okusho ukuthi, ngaphansi kwengxenye yalokho okuzobiza i-Apple Watch.
Shit, kubi futhi. Nokho, abafana baseMontblanc bathatha indlela ethokozisayo: http://goo.gl/akgv7J
i-e-strap? Erm, angisho ukuthi lamaPebbles mahle, kodwa avela eMontblanc? Oo
I-TimeWalker iwashi eliphezulu, ngiyaqonda, akuwona wonke umuntu ongayithanda, ngemuva kwakho konke, lesi sixazululo cishe ngeke sibe sawo wonke umuntu, ngilinganisela intengo ezungeze i-100K. Kodwa YIWASHI.
Yazi ukuthi ngeke nakanjani ngigqoke "ibhande" ewashini elinjalo - iwashi alibi, kodwa isongo
"Isongo" njengoba usho, isendaweni lapho kuvame ukuba khona ukubopha/okuqiniswayo. Ayibukeki kabi kangako, ingaphansi ngakho imvamisa yibona kuphela umuntu oyigqokile. Kunalokho, ngizoyibona inkinga yokuthi ingaphansi, lapho ngihlala phansi ku-PC, ngizobe ngicofa isikrini etafuleni, okungabonakali njengento engcono kakhulu kimi....
Kodwa akukho lutho. Abantu ngempela banikela ngemali nganoma yini.
Njengenketho eshibhile, noma kunjalo, kulungile.
