Fitbit wants Pebble's technology, but not its hardware.
The big-name activity tracker will buy its smaller rival's software and firmware intellectual property and absorb some of its staff, but not acquire its smartwatch, Fitbit announced Wednesday morning.
The acquisition had been rumored before Fitbit's announcement.

Fitbit didn't say how much it paid for Pebble's assets. Earlier reports estimated a $30 to $40 million price. The transaction closed on Tuesday, Fitbit said.
Pebble gained a a chunk of the wearables market with its smartwatch, which took off before Apple and other companies stepped up their health and fitness offerings.
But the company had struggled recently and in March laid off a quarter of its staff.
The acquisition likely means the end of Pebble's wearables.
