"Pebble, the smartphone-friendly watch that raised over $10 million on Kickstarter \u2014 $500,000 in the first day alone \u2014 will be at CES 2013.\nThe Pebble is the most successful Kickstarter project of all-time, with nearly 69,000 backers \u2014 myself included. Users were drawn to the promise of the product, a wrist watch that syncs with your iPhone or Android smartphone. The idea is that you can receive notifications and access content from your phone \u2014 and its apps \u2014 via your watch.\nSEE ALSO: Pebble Watch: The Pre-Kickstarter Years\nOriginally, the Pebble team planned to start shipping watches to backers in the fall of 2012. On its Kickstarter page, the team has made frequent, detailed updates to the manufacturing and design process. This isn't unique to Pebble; most Kickstarter projects end up missing their projected delivery dates. \nNow, it looks like the wait is coming to an end. On its Kickstarter page and in a message sent to backers, Pebble announced that it will be holding a press conference at CES 2013.\nThe announcement will also be live streamed from Getpebble.com. \nWe hope the Pebble team will be announcing general availability of the watch, as well as shipping dates for backers.\nAre you still excited about the Pebble watch? Let us know in the comments.\nPhoto courtesy Pebble."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
