Pebble Watch gets $50 discount and some new functionality for sleep tracking

Anyone on the fence about the Pebble watch or the Pebble Steel will be happy to know that the cross-platform devices are now available for $50.00 less. As an added bonus, there's also new functionality for background tracking for fitness and sleep. This should make the devices even more enticing. Pebble is the company that really put wearables and smartwatches on the map and while the hardware has remained unchanged since release, there have been constant software updates making the watch even smarter. This means the classic Pebbles sell for US $99.00 and the Steel sell for $199.99.

Pebble's appstore features over 4,000 applications. There are also more than 18,000 developers on the Pebble platform. Is the pricing good for you?

Apple Watch goes to Fashion Week in Paris chaperoned by Ive and Newson

It's clear that Apple Watch is as much a wearable gadget as it is a fashion object and while Apple's treasured watch isn't slated for release until early 2015, Jony Ive and his bestie Marc Newson were on hand to chaperone their newest creation in and around the high-glitz events of the fashion capital. The more expensive variants of the Apple Watch are expected to cost a premium price and will likely be made available in high-end botiques and ateliers catering to fashion-forward buyers, so it makes good sense for Apple to send it's most articulate experts on Apple Watch to represent it to a prospective new market.

Apple's most successful iPhones are heading to their potentially biggest market in China on October 17th as regulatory approvals have been granted for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus sell in the country where they are made. Demand for Apple products in China has been huge as evidenced by the number of people camping out on iPhone lines to buy unlocked devices for grey market resellers who sent the phones back to the country where they were manufactured to sell for up to three times their purchase price. 

Apple has confirmed Chinese iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus preorders start on Oct. 10, with in-store availability to follow on Oct. 17. Long lines are expected.
