 Hey everyone, Lauren, good with The Verge. I'm at Pebble's offices taking a look at the company's first non-smartwatch product. This is called the Core and it's aimed at runners. Let's take a look. So here's the Pebble Core and the idea behind it is that it has GPS so that runners don't have to take their phones with them or wear a GPS-enabled wristwatch in order to have GPS when they're running. Originally, Pebble had toyed with the idea of doing smart straps, things that would have GPS in them that you would add to your existing wristwatch, but that added a lot of bulk to the experience they found out. So they decided to make a completely separate product that you would clip onto you and would give you all the things you could possibly need while you're running. So in addition to GPS, it also has a 3G modem. So if you had to make an emergency phone call or send a text, you would press this button and it would be programmed to call whoever you wanted to call. It also has Wi-Fi, it has Bluetooth, so you can either plug your headphones in or you can use Bluetooth headphones. It also has Spotify built into it. So Pebble says it worked directly with Spotify so that you can go into the Pebble app, you can choose your Spotify playlist for running, it would cache on this device and you would have it with you when you go running. Kind of reminds me of a bigger iPod shuffle, one with this magnetic clip here. Another interesting thing worth noting about the Core is that it's actually running on Google Android. So Pebble says it's not only meant for runners who want a GPS device, but also for hackers. They imagine that some hackers will have a little bit of fun with this little keychain computer, if you want to call it that. The Core also works with a wireless charging pod. We don't have the pod with us right now, but the idea being that you would just come home, throw it on the wireless charging pod and it would start to charge. And it's expected to get about nine hours of battery life with continuous use. The Core goes on sale on Kickstarter today for $69. Pebble says it expects it to ship sometime later this year, possibly early 2017.
 Hey everyone, Lauren, good with The Verge.
 I'm at Pebble's offices taking a look at the company's first non-smartwatch product.
 This is called the Core and it's aimed at runners.
 Let's take a look.
 So here's the Pebble Core and the idea behind it is that it has GPS
 so that runners don't have to take their phones with them
 or wear a GPS-enabled wristwatch in order to have GPS when they're running.
 Originally, Pebble had toyed with the idea of doing smart straps,
 things that would have GPS in them that you would add to your existing wristwatch,
 but that added a lot of bulk to the experience they found out.
 So they decided to make a completely separate product that you would clip onto you
 and would give you all the things you could possibly need while you're running.
 So in addition to GPS, it also has a 3G modem.
 So if you had to make an emergency phone call or send a text,
 you would press this button and it would be programmed to call whoever you wanted to call.
 It also has Wi-Fi, it has Bluetooth, so you can either plug your headphones in
 or you can use Bluetooth headphones.
 It also has Spotify built into it.
 So Pebble says it worked directly with Spotify so that you can go into the Pebble app,
 you can choose your Spotify playlist for running,
 it would cache on this device and you would have it with you when you go running.
