Google recently open sourced Pebble and today, Repebble has put some of the watches up for preorder.
IIRC, it has a reflective LCD, not epaper display.
Am I missing something?
The problem is that e-paper is a category of displays, and some companies label reflective LCDs as “e-paper”. Which is subjective (and I personally heavily disagree with that categorization, cause then LCD clocks and Gameboys have “e-paper” displays, too).
But in the comment I responded to it was said Pebble has “eink” display, which is categorically wrong, as that is a very specific proprietary technology, which is e-paper in traditional sense, like the ones in Kindles.
Where exactly is that quote from? I had a look through the product page(s) and could only find e-paper being mentioned…
Oh that seems to be new since the original pebble
