<strong>Austin—</strong>South by Southwest Interactive is nothing if not a hub for the entire tech community to party, so smartwatch maker Pebble fittingly chose the conference to
    release its SDK—Signature Drink Kit—to longtime backers.</p><p>
Silly? Yes. But the company is getting ready to release Pebble Time, the next generation of its    popular smartwatch (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/pebble-e-paper-watch-for-iphone-and-android), and already it’s a smash
success. More than 72,000 people have backed the    Pebble Time Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/pebble-time-awesome-smartwatch-no-compromises) to the tune of $18.5
    million, shattering the crowdfunding site’s previous record. So Pebble’s small crew descended on Austin to celebrate, and invited its evangelists to join
    them at the Pebbjama Jam. While Pebble supporters donned free pajamas emblazoned with Pebble logos and guzzled Smartstrap-ple Ciders and Eric Migibrewskis,
    I found Pebble CEO Eric Migicovsky calmly talking up Pebble Time to excited believers.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2896765/pebble-ceo-welcomes-apple-to-the-smartwatch-party.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
