Here’s some rather unusual news from Pebble: Former webOS designers Itai Vonshak and Liron Damir have left LG to join the wearable startup, which is a pretty big deal given their unique spin on UI design — you’ll want to check out what they did to LG’s smart TVs before they left. In fact, if you recall the ill-fated First Else phone from late 2009, its Splay interface — now available as a standalone launcher (pictured above) on Google Play — was also the work of the Israeli duo. With Vonshak now in charge of Pebble’s Product and UX team plus Damir joining as the Head of Design, we can’t help but imagine what a webOS-powered smartwatch would look like. Well, at least someone’s already made a Palm OS watchface for the Pebble to keep us amused.
