A new name for Fossil

We are renaming Fossil to Pug.

Pugmark is the term used to refer to the footprint of animals. “Pug” means foot in Hindi (Sanskrit ‘padh’; Greek ‘ped’).  So Pug essential captures your footprint in time. I hope you got the analogy.

Why are we changing the name? FOSSIL has been chasing us on the changing the name and it is difficult to reason with a lawyer the obvious differences between a watch and a time tracking application and that they are not the same.

Version 1.6 is under Apple review at the moment and should hit the app store in a day or two.
