    But this doesn’t have anything to do with alphabet? They just open sourced the code.

      Fitbit bought Pebble then Google bought Fitbit.

        PebbleOS was open sourced and now the original founder who hasn’t worked for alphabet for ages wants to build a new device using the now open sourced OS. No way Google can drop support and they have essentially given the code away because they aren’t using it anymore.

        Yes, and this has nothing to do with Fitbit or Google (beyond Google open-sourcing the old Pebble code).

        This is not a Google product.
