Biggest wins (in my opinion):

- Persistent storage of up to 4K of data on the watch per app. Storage is a key/value dictionary. No single value may exceed 256 bytes. (Keys are 32 bit integers.)

- New JavaScript framework. Allows running of custom js in a sandbox on the Official Pebble Iphone app

  * Supports communicating (bi-directional at all times) between a Watch App and an Android/iPhone javascript companion app.
  * Supports HTML5 local storage (on the iPhone)
  * Supports location APIs (via HTML5 navigaor.geolocation)
  * Supports web requests (JavaScript's XMLHttpRequest())
  * Supports sending a simple title/text notification to the watch
  * Supports opening a webview on the phone inside the Official Pebble App and the ability to pass a string message back to the JavaScript app when the view is subsequently closed.
