The kickstarted Pebble smartwatch is now a division of Fitbit, so they may "reduce functionality" on all the watches they ever sold

As I see it, Pebble’s biggest problem was that relying on repeated Kickstarters to fund itself basically camouflaged the fact that there just weren’t enough interested people outside the Kickstarters to keep their business afloat. I realize that BoingBoing will take any excuse it possibly can to make anything and everything into a screed about the evils of DRM, but I can’t really see that DRM has much to do with the Pebble in any case.
