The interesting little Pebble smartwatch has been turbocharged by a clever coder, who’s developed a way of giving it full access to all iPhone notifications. But you need a “jailbroken” Apple phone to fully exploit its power.
If you have already hacked open your iPhone, developer Conrad Kramer‘s “BTNotificationEnabler” tool inside unofficial hacked app store Cydia does the job. It removes Apple’s limitation on what notifications can be sent via Bluetooth link, giving the e-ink smartwatch an extra few IQ points and bringing it up to the same level of compatibility as offered when hooking it up to an Android mobile.
Now if only they could redesign it a bit so it didn’t look so… Amstrad. [Cult of Mac via Engadget]

Great ideas but in a watch that looks like it’s for Japanese schoolgirls.
is bluetooth inherently insecure? if so, i hope this won’t hamper the development of smartwatches. i would love one, but i too can’t stand the design of the pebble.
Dose anyone know if it can vibrate? I have the issue of putting my iPhone in my coat pocket because it falls out of my trouser pocket so i can’t feel the vibration if i get a call.
Yes it can.
Still waiting for my pebble
Although I am on android so have no issues
