Eric Migicovsky came up with the idea for the Pebble smart watch about 5 years ago as an industrial-design student at Delft University if Technology in the Netherlands. He was looking for a way to use his smartphone without crashing his bike every time he pulled it out of his pocket. Eric created this watch to make things simpler when driving, running, or riding a bike.

Migicivsky is now shipping out about 85,000 Pebble watches to customers. This watch has Bluetooth capability so you can connect to any IPhone or Android to receive messages, alerts, and other data of the users choosing. When launching his campaign he had asked for $100,000 to help bring the watch to market and within five weeks he had more than $10 million. Making it the best Kickstarter campaign yet. Since the release of this watch Sony has came out with a smart watch, Samsung is bringing theirs out this year, and I am sure Apple will jump on also.

I posted this because I believe that this could be a better solution to having to get out phones all of the time. You can talk on the phone a lot easier also with this.
