Meet Pebble, kickstarter's shining jewel of crowd source funding!

This beautiful watch you see above is not only an amazing looking watch but it is also a great app platform to integrate with your iPhone or android. With the short period this has been on kickstarter it has raised millions of dollars and already has tons of developers ready to try out this platform.

What is so special? Well it's display is an e-ink display that can connect with your phone to view weather, SMS messages and other notifications from your phone. With the platform it provides any other app a way it can transmit info to the watch as well ,such as, gps info or exercise data. With the creator of runkeeper already on board to be compatible at launch I seems that this little device has a lot of promise. If I were Apple or Google I would be arching this closely because this may be a good acquisition just like SIRI.

 

Look for this to hit shelves in September with an estimated price tag somewhere between $125 and $150.

Kickstarter: the site that will literally kickstart any idea

So you may or  may not of heard of Kickstarter, the website where you pitch and idea where people can come and look at it and fun your idea into actually being done or made.  This has so many great prospects and it seems to already be launching a lot of great products, games and ideas into fruition.  But I also have to say, there are a lot of crap ideas out there and what seems to be a lot of people who are carelessly throwing their money into the wind in order to have that one chance of being part of something big and earning big from it.  Basically what I am getting at here is the fact that I see a lot of great stuff coming from this and also a warning for all the crap we are probably about to get thrown our way.  I mean I know I am no expert on what will be the next big thing but that can probably be said for about 80% of us would be investors.  Or maybe I just like (what little) money I have an just don't want to give it up to just any crazy idea.  HAHA.  Anyway if you want to check out this interesting and great tool for creators and inventors go to http://kickstart.com.
