You know what would make this a lot better? Packaging it up so that one wouldn't have to go to 10 different stores to pick the items up.
I'd order straight away and pay a premium to save the hazzle. A logistics challenge for sure, but you'd have at least one customer right here.
While I loved the video I need to do a bit of a meta rant on the rising ui trend that I personally find apalling:
why on earth would I like a version of a page I read on iPad to have a horizontal scrolling complimented with back button jumping between sub pages instead of taking me back?
Is there something fantastic I'm missing here with this newish approach? For me it breaks the time tested and familiar vertical scrolling that I've been doing for the last 15 years and doesn't add any value.
Good communication 101 in my books says they should write a statement about it, especially since they've indicated that it should be out before the watch. Or atleast comment on the questions.
I think people want pebble to succeed and there is lot of love for the product. And telling about the dragons and delays creating the SDK would just improve the image of fair and open culture they have.
I can imagine they've had a crazy year but an hour spent on commenting this would be time well spent in my oppinion.
This would be a good time for an experienced enough investigating journalist to set up a Kickstarter project on it. I'd chip in at least..
