Biggest wins (in my opinion):

- Persistent storage of up to 4K of data on the watch per app. Storage is a key/value dictionary. No single value may exceed 256 bytes. (Keys are 32 bit integers.)

- New JavaScript framework. Allows running of custom js in a sandbox on the Official Pebble Iphone app

  * Supports communicating (bi-directional at all times) between a Watch App and an Android/iPhone javascript companion app.
  * Supports HTML5 local storage (on the iPhone)
  * Supports location APIs (via HTML5 navigaor.geolocation)
  * Supports web requests (JavaScript's XMLHttpRequest())
  * Supports sending a simple title/text notification to the watch
  * Supports opening a webview on the phone inside the Official Pebble App and the ability to pass a string message back to the JavaScript app when the view is subsequently closed.

We'll also start hosting weekly open labs where developers can come hack with us and get help on projects at Pebble HQ starting in early December. Stay tuned to the blog for more details!

Nice! Where is Pebble HQ, SF?

Palo Alto, but we'll also be hosting some of our open labs virtually for our remote friends =)

That's awesome. I got my Pebble on Kickstarter, but I've been too busy with school and work to work on a project. SDK2 is just the pick-me-up I need, and I'm really interseted in lab hours too.

I just created a hello-world project on cloudpebble.net, but my initial build is failing:

  ../src/main.c:1:23: fatal error: pebble_os.h: No such file or directory
  compilation terminated.
  Waf: Leaving directory `/tmp/tmpIc8vSE/build'
  Build failed

In the latest build, you no longer need to #include all of the individual files, #include <pebble.h> is all you need

Doesn't look like it's actually released yet (RC4)

Pebble SDK 2.0 is currently in BETA and intended for developers only.

SDK 2.0 will be released later this year as an over-the-air update to all Pebble users.

Fixed

Darn, just as mine started getting garbled graphics every day. Time to RMA :)

I was having similar problems as well. I sent them some emails about it, but they kept asking for more pictures and I just got frustrated with the process. It doesn't happen all of the time and I'm not really doing anything crazy with the watch, so I've just been kind of dealing with it.

sorry to hear that - if you would like to get a replacement, email sarah @ getpebble.com and she'll sort it out.

my RMA process was similar - a barrage of tests + pictures with a week or two for every response (or lack there of). Luckily, after a month of this i got the replacement, but terribly frustrating nonetheless.

And now I'm going to buy one.

When will the Pebble2 come out?

Can it run MongoDB?
