The Pebble smart watch launched last year as a Kickstarter project, became one of the most popular Kickstarter projects ever, getting 85,000 orders and more than $10 million. It will be available at Best Buy stores, starting July 7. It began shipping in January to Kickstarter backers for $99, but will cost $149.99 at all Best Buy stores and on bestbuy.com. The watch's e-paper display makes it visible in sunlight and pairs with a phone to show you text messages, email and incoming calls right from your wrist. It has already shipped 100,000 of the watches. Expect Apple's iWatch soon(ish).
