Why is it still in dev kit status?The PineTime is essentially an existing product supplied without the back permanently glued on as it normally would be. The initial firmware is the firmware from that product, so it's entirely possible to use it that way, but that firmware isn't open. The idea behind the dev kit is (as I understand it) to let the community develop at least one open firmware, and see where it ends up. @lupyuen has already made a good case for the dev kit as an educational IoT device, quite apart from the interesting use of Rust in a small embedded platform. Others might want something Pebble-compatible, or who knows what else.
