Pebble Time now most funded Kickstarter in history; over 70,000 watches sold
It was clear within hours of the project’s launch that this was an inevitability, but today Pebble Time has become the most funded Kickstarter in the history of the site. Though funding has understandably slowed over the last few days, the project was still edging up slowly toward the record held by the Coolest Cooler ($13,285,226).

In a nondescript conference room at Google’s headquarters a few weeks ago, I paired my iPhone to a smartwatch running Android for the first time. I was there to ask Jeff Chang, the lead product manager for Wear, how he’d managed to get Android watches working with iOS and how much they could do with an iPhone. Then my first notification came in on my newly paired Huawei Watch and my carefully laid plans evaporated.
