Pebble, the smartphone-friendly watch that raised over $10 million on Kickstarter -- $500,000 in the first day alone -- will be at CES 2013.
The Pebble is the most successful Kickstarter project of all-time, with nearly 69,000 backers -- 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 -- and its apps -- via your watch.

Originally, 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.
Now, 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.
The announcement will also be live streamed from Getpebble.com.
We hope the Pebble team will be announcing general availability of the watch, as well as shipping dates for backers.
