Has anyone else been keeping an eye on estimote? Any idea how this will measure up against their offering? In many ways this looks similar too. Just wondering if this is going to make business hard for estimote. Although, estimote just seems to be a lot more developer friendly, and open to more applications.
I really like Estimote, but it seems like they're selling premium hardware in a space that's racing to the bottom. Most beacons really don't need the temperature sensors or accelerometers. I finally got my nearables order last month, over six months after the first promised delivery date, and as great as those are ten dollars each is still a bit much IMO. Their solid SDK and developer relationships aren't going to matter too much if stuff like Facebook's beacons take off, making it so that businesses don't even need people to download an extra app.
