Nomad has released a new key-sized USB charging cable for the Pebble smartwatch called theNomadKey. Its small size and durability are meant to make it easy to bring with you wherever you go. The cable was designed to be able to charge your Pebble from any USB port. It only works with the original pebble, but the company has stated that they will be releasing a future model for the Pebble Time.

You can buy a NomadKey from the Nomad website or Amazon for $19.95.

The Pebble Smart Watch is back on Kickstarter with a whole new design called Pebble Time.

The new watch includes a color e-paper display that's easier to read and doesn't drain the battery as fast, a new microphone that can send voice replies and take notes, and the timeline function that shows you everything coming up for your day. Pebble Time is water resistant and fully customizable. You can add any standard watch band or even make your own. It's also compatible with all 6,500+ existing Pebble apps and watch faces, so there's no need to buy everything all over again. And as an added bonus, the original Kickstarter backers will get a special engraving on their watch if they support Pebble again.

The Pebble Time Kickstarter campaign is funding fast so go check it out.

Pebble Smartwatch is set to receive a new update to its app soon, becoming fully integrated with iOS 7 and working seamlessly with notifications so that all will appear on your Pebble device. It's also easy to choose what updates you'd like to see on your smartwatch, going beyond notifications for just calls, texts, and emails. This means users will be able to see when people message them on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Instagram, and much more.

Pebble is also making things easier on developers when it comes to building Pebble apps. The newly-released SDK 2.0 features four new APIs; including Javascript, Accelerometer, Data Logging, and Persistent Storage. This will allow Pebble apps to do all sorts of new things like providing users with real-time weather, transit info, location check-ins, health and fitness monitoring, high scores for games, and much more. iControl, Foursquare, GoPro, and Yelp are already working on making use of SDK 2.0, so users should see more from them and other developers in the near future.
