[App] Phone Ringer Mode Switcher for Android
Hi,
Just wanna share this with you guys. The Pebble app allows you to change your phone ringer modes (Normal, Vibrate, Silent). To install, just download the app from Play Store and install. From within the app, there's a button to install it to your watch.
Credits and big thanks to Katharine for her cloudpebble.net which makes development a whole lot easier! Cheers!
Simple Volume Control
Here's a simple suggestion that mirrors the iPhone headphones control:
Up - vol up.
X - one press is play/pause, double press is next track,
Down - vol down
People don't really use previous track that often, so better just to skip it and KISS
Coming Soon: Jupiter Lander
I had a 10hr flight from Sydney to Seoul yesterday, so figured I'd do something more useful that watching a movie or 3...

(Jupiter Lander was a C64 clone of the original Lunar Lander arcade game. A clone of a clone? Yeah, why not...)

I think for a hardware manufacturer its better to provide a good SDK or API as Pebble have done rather than spend time building apps. It would be too easy to spend the time and effort creating apps which although satisfying the majority there would always be a feature which would be missing. By concentrating on SDK development they offset the work on creating Apps but actually the end result is that there will be more Apps and this will satisfy a larger spectrum of users. Apple and Google are much larger organisations they have thousands of engineers, Pebble will only have a handful. Besides, remember when iOS had no app store, sure the Apple apps were of very high quality but it was still a bit rubbish, the SDK totally transformed that platform.
The SDK and examples are very good and both Android and iOS development using them is quick and easy. Even creating watch faces is painless everything is there so you can develop the idea not spend time building framework code.
In my opinion this may have taken a while but it has been worth the wait.

Hi Jason,
I will be building an iOS version too, just can't build the automatic activity detection as this feature is not possible on iOS, you will manually have too start the activity.
Plan to look at this next week.

Since it's my iOS app, the version I have on GitHub is never the old one.
Volume Control on Pebble Using Tasker and Augmented SmartWatch Pro Works
I added a volume Up and down Tasker Tasks @ http://augmentedtraffic.wordpress.com/2013/03/20/tutorial-for-tasker-and-pebble-using-augmented-smartwatch-pro/
Also just uploaded version 4.9.5 to the market, there is a new option that will maintain the menu page in the menu app if the top or bottom button are assigned to Tasker Tasks - this allows mapping the top button to VolumeUp and the buttom button to VolumeDown and hence one can keep clicking the button the tweak the volume level.
Double click to switch to next/pause/resume/previous mode.
I believe this makes it the ultimate music app for the Pebble now :)

For all you android lovers:
I have not tested this fully yet but it does not seem to crash, i would avoid the automatic start option for a day or so as this has been giving me the most trouble. I plan to test this tomorrow morning when I head out for a ride.

Paid vs. Unpaid Pre-Orders, Account Access, ETAs
Do I have to sift through endless threads in the forums to gather information about the status of a crowd funded project, or is the the obligation of a company that sold a product to tell the customer?
Frankly, with all the lies, the bullshit, the lack of communication, my patience is wearing thin.
They have an obligation to tell their funders - and that includes backers and pre-orders who already paid - about the state of the business. People invested money here. Real money. 10,000,000 and more.
