Pebble smartwatch outs SDK preview at Google I/O, gives developers a kickstart on apps

[![pebble-smartwatch-sdk-preview-google-i-o][1] ][2]

If you invested in the [Pebble][3] e-paper smartwatch -- and who [didn't?][4] -- you'll be happy to hear that the firm has unleashed a preview of the Kickstarter darling's SDK at [Google I/O][5] this week. That'll give developers a head start on creating apps for the ARM-powered e-paper device, allowing them to learn exactly how it receives data from Mountain View's robot OS. The company said the new kit supports multiple program languages to boot, allowing developers of all skill levels to create Pebble-enabled apps. The document is still a work in progress, of course, but advances like this should help keep it from getting trampled by the [cavalcade][6] of smart [wrist devices][7] now coming out. Check the source link if you want to grab it.
