While the crowdfunding campaign of the brand new smart health connected objects Pebble was launched just ten days ago and has already exceeded $ 10M in funding, here is a first update for the Core activity tracker: compatibility with Amazon's voice assistant Alexa!

The Pebble Core is a smart health smart health connected object that seems to have almost all the elements necessary to suit a whole lot of use, from the activity monitoring to that of hacking going through theIoT pure and the Automation. This small tool that is carried everywhere has the chance to turn under Android and to be equipped with a multitude of sensors: GPS, 3G, Bluetooth, Wireless, or Jack plug are in the game.

Integration of theartificial intelligence Alexa within the gadget further enlarges the scope of the possibilities it can offer its users; remember our Amazon Echo Review on which the software works brilliantly, shading Google Now (and its successor Google health home), Siri, and almost getting to Viv's page. An idea whose effectiveness is still to qualify: no microphone is not provided with the Core, so it will probably think of hearables like the latest Samsung Gear IconX to transmit voice orders.

This news is totally part of the program Amazon Voice Service to include Alexa in third-party devices : the Core is the third smart device to enjoy it, while it is now possible to use the voice assistant … In his browser! Apple seems to be one of the first to have understood the quality of the strategy of the firm of Jeff Bezos, so that the Apple brand would already try to make Siri also more accessible to developers.
